How can I close my account?

Hello,
I would like to close my account so I can open a new one (without my name.) Is their a way to do this?

 

Im sure you could just request a name change

 

For over a month I've sent several messages via the contact button but still no reply.

 

Nope you can't change your name

 

That's fine, I don't want to change their rules. But, can I close my account and just open a new one without getting in trouble?

 

You can't close this account (& make another one) nor you can change userid.

You have to stay with your userid.

Well, I guess this will be the last time I use digital point then. I really do not understand the rational about not letting someone legitamately and for good reasons give up all their points, etc, and close their account at least one time. Especially as their is no great BIG WARNING BANNER stating this is YOUR NAME FOR LIFE posted on the registration form.

 

one of the things you agreed to when you registered was that one account only, period. those are the rules. simple and pretty much unbending. sorry to see you go.

 

40,000 active members, what id they all want to have a name change? you think staff have time for that? get real. you only made 48 posts and want to change your id after 2 months lol

bye then i guess.

 

Name changes are not allowed anymore.

Also, you should never expect a reply from Contact Us feature as it has no destination...lol

 

I guess shouldn't talk unless I know the answer =\
Never thought DP was like that

 

I thought users read the rules before they register, or at least they agree to it

 

This isn't certainly not the only forum that doesn't allow name changes (or new accounts when you don't one any more). Good reason to think carefully before you create an account on any forum

 

you can't change you name

 

You could make a polite request to one of the forum admins to delete your present account (crazy rob, prob) but don't expect it to happen. This forum is soooo large that removing or changing anything username-related can totally screw up the database and cause hours and hours of work not to mention revenue loss for the forum. There's a slim to nil chance it can be done as you ask but to be honest I wouldn't hold my breath.
