How do I delete my MacRumors account?

[Le Big Mac]

A lot of Apple employees read & post to these sites, no doubt.

If you work for Apple, wouldn't you have some better sources than a rumors site?

I'm sure that some of them are here to read the fun "OMG, IS TEH NEXT IPHONE GONNA HAVE MMS???"

Or they might help people in the non-rumors sections.

Not necessarily. The vast majority of Apple employees wouldn't have the faintest idea what's in the Apple pipeline. Even those working on up 'n' coming projects would have knowledge that's limited in scope. They might have the next generation Mac's specs, but would have no idea what the shipping configurations would be, what it will look like, what the price point will be. And they wouldn't know much about other projects they're not working on.

Products/services which don't require as broad testing (such as new iPod models) can be kept much more secret than a new Mac.

A person employed by apple, could simply request a name change,to something you wouldn't use for apple work. Then just watch what was posted.

Is there really a point? Even if your account was deleted and you really wanted to post, you could just register a new account in less than a minute.

Just break into Sarah Palin's email account. Then you don't have to worry about revisiting MR again.

I also wish to delete my account. Are you trying to inflate your numbers of users to attract advertisers by not letting people delete their accounts? Have you consulted a European lawyer to see if you are in violation of the GDPR by not letting people delete their personal data from your site?

Both @Weaselboy and @SandboxGeneral have explained how to delete your account, or an account, and @Weaselboy provided the relevant link (contained in an earlier post written by @SandboxGeneral).

Simply use the "contact us" link to ask the staff to delete your account and they will readily do so.

Good grief. How about using basic reading skills instead of jumping to accusatory conclusions?
