Voat account deletion bug solved

Great, even though I'm not planning on deleting mine, and rarely go there anymore, it's good to have the option finally restored.

I'm not deleting either, but I think users should have the option. There are actually laws relating to not being able to delete accounts that are linked to your personal data (in this case emails, and maybe information shared voluntarily on the site by users, but that one is a long shot).

Here is a similar recent case that kind of relates. Voat's issue isn't as severe but it's still sketchy IMO.

I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of there. I enjoyed the good and ignored the ugly until it became even too toxic for me - LOL. I'm no different here, you guys just have a much more pleasant atmosphere. So I'll keep my account so I can occasionally cruise by and lurk, or stay in touch with a few friends, but like I said, there's nothing I've left behind there that I wouldn't gladly share with anyone. So there's that.

That explains why I had no problems deleting mine. I play well with others.

I played well with others to but was banned in a long forgotten shitposting sub that was used to mock users who posted in a well known sub.

My posts and comments were extremely vanilla and positive. I never engaged in any hate subs or hate speech as that's not my thing. But I was targeted by a troll and now I can't delete.

I'm guessing I'd be able to delete mine purely because I didn't use voat after this bug started happening.

My ban in the forgotten shit posting sub happened one year ago.

Interesting. I only theorised that this may only be happening with recent bans based on anecdotal evidence from another user who said he was able to delete even though he had bans in the past.

Edit: was it SDBH or SBBH?

Hooray! I really want to delete my account.

[–] PMYA [OP] 1 points (+1|-0)

You still have to wait for it to be fixed unfortunately. I have not found any workaround yet.

[–] OeeThaGreat 1 points (+1|-0)

Yeah, but at least we know what the problem is now.

[–] X175B247 0 points (+0|-0)

So never then. Putt's not going to do anything and his bootlicker PeaceSeeker will cover for him.

I can't tell you how many times I have been banned at random by a soapbox moderator.
