All is in the title . Can you tell me how?
best regards
Can any of us erase our past actions, however much we may regret them?
That said, if you simply stop posting, your visibility will quickly fade into obscurity. Turn off notifications and you won’t even be bothered by people responding to your earlier comments.
I don’t think individual users can delete their account and all their posts, but I believe it’s something that the forum administrators can do.
I am considering this, so how might this be arranged, or else who is the best person to contact?
It seems, that volunteer moderation, from my point of view isn’t working and that there is a zeal that is so diffucult to counter that it is making it a waste of my time being here when I could simply email Steinberg instead about new features and/or bugs.
The Dorico forum is monitored by Dorico and Steinberg staff. It really is the best place for feature requests or bug reports.
Just… stop posting maybe?
That would seem rather unhelpful, but in any case, I have feature requests to make as well as bug reports and while I know I would be heard, even in an email, to Steinberg it is beneficial to get other users’ points of view, not just the views of volunteer moderators regarding the appropriateness of content, in unlisted threads.
Contact @dspreadbury by PM and he can give you options. I enquired about this a while ago with him. For feature requests, bugs etc., you could ask if you can email him directly (outside of the forum) also.
I am thnking I will need to do something like that, because there is no point in taking time to create a topic, only for it to be hidden and the expectation coming from volunteer moderation is that I contribtue to one of those unweildy mega request threads, that are impossible to follow.
It looks like you have not posted here on the Dorico forums recently, so I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
There are no volunteer moderators here; the only people with moderator authority are Steinberg employees. (Edit: I’m wrong, guess I just haven’t come across them.) And I haven’t seen topics being hidden, as you describe.
Me neither.
If a thread is hidden in the forum but no one was around to see it, was it really posted?
Hihi ![]()
In fact there are volunteer moderators in addition to Steinberg staff, but they tend to have less to do here in the Dorico category because we in the team try to keep a close eye on the posts.
Nevertheless, if you do want to remove all trace from the forum, what we typically do is use the option to anonymise your account, which leaves your posts up (thus maintaining the history of the threads in which they appear) but which changes the screen name to something random, and makes it impossible for you to sign in to your account again in future. (You can of course create a new forum account later on if you decide you do want to post again.)
