Deletion of Inactive Accounts

Post by Alicorn »

I tried to create a Keenspace Forum account so I could join some messageboards of comics I like, but I accidentally clicked on the "under 13" link even though I have not been under thirteen for several years. Now it won't let me use the account until I get my parents to fax or mail them the consent form, and I can't create a new account with the same name or e-mail address either.

I can't just get my parents to sign the consent form and live with the forums thinking I'm twelve, because it has my password on it in plaintext, and I use the same one for a lot of things that my parents are not allowed into.

I can't just use this account (which I created so I could post here about this) because I had to use a different e-mail address, which I don't want to use on forums as a general rule.

Conclusion: I have to get the account deleted so I can start over. How do I do that?

Hmmm... I couldn't find the account "Alicorn" (probably because it's not created yet) so I can't delete it, but what I did was to change your current account name to just Alicorn. You can change the email address yourself in the profile panel.

Hopefully that fixes the problem ;)

Okay, for some reason I can now log on as Alicorn to this forum, but on other keenspot forums "Alicorn" is still an inactive account - how does that work anyway?

Keenspot is a different forum. This is Comic Gen's.
