Hi everyone.<p>I’ve been a member of this community for a decade plus.<p>I’ve used two accounts: TotlolRon and ronilan.<p>I recently figured this community is not good for me and I want to leave.<p>I tried to delete all my content (comments and posts) as one can do in other communities (i.e. reddit, Twitter), but I can’t. There is no technical way for me to do it and the moderators are refusing to help.<p>If anyone reading this is willing and or able to help make this happen - I’d be thankful.<p>Thanks,
Ron
It looks like you haven't comented on your one account since 2010 and the other for 43 days, submissions even longer(besides this one), is it possible what you need is a dns blocker to prevent you from reading the content?<p>Maybe your router has a white black list that would do this?
Heres a comment from a previous thread that covers this topic.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19459658" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19459658</a><p>dang:<p>We delete comments for people nearly every day. It's true that we don't allow wholesale deletion of account histories, because that would gut the threads the account had participated in. But we also don't want anyone to get in trouble from anything they posted to HN.<p>The idea is to balance the need to preserve history (community interest) and the need to protect users (individual interest). We don't get there perfectly, but I can tell you for sure that the vast majority of people who ask us about this end up happy with how we help them.
> I recently figured this community is not good for me and I want to leave.<p><i>Where you think you're going?</i><p><i>Once you create an account on HN, it is there forever.</i><p>All your posts stays right here and there is no way you can delete anything on HN after it is created. It is unfortunate but that's that.
Generate a random password and change your hn password without saving it anywhere. Remove your email address as well. Now you’re locked out.<p>However, not sure what stops you from simply not using HN. If it is addiction then you’ll probably get addicted to something else..
