Unfortunately, in Australia they are required under law to delete, and I dont think they want me to go legal or to the ESafety comissioner. So this is my official notice to delete.
Actually:
Australian consumers don’t have a right to erasure of their data embedded in law.

Under the new esafety laws anything classed as forums or social media that operate in Australia, must have a delete option.
If there isnt they are subject to fines and possible blocking

I would love to see a source on this. Do you have anything to back this up?
Also Media Spy is hosted in Singapore so Australian law does not necessarily apply here.

I thought the hamsters that power this site are based in Sydney?

I had asked for this a number of years back. They ended up putting a “requested by user” block on my account. I am glad as I when I was ready to come back on my own terms, I have been welcomed back. I get it…sometimes we want to leave everything behind though. Would this be a compromise that would work for you?
Maybe if you really need…the mods can remove your personal info from your profile and change the username prior to doing this so it doesn’t identify you easily? (Assuming that can be done)

Does deleting an account remove all the posts? Would be a shame to lose them.

I’ve seen it be done on this site before, so yes, it seems to be an option.

This forum keeps switching to dark mode today. Is there a problem causing this?
Not happening to me?
Anyone else?

No issue here.

Very strange. And it’s not happening every time. I remember this happened once before.
I’ve had it do the reverse. I prefer dark mode. What browser are you using?
Chrome on my Android phone.
Probably test it on a PC any see what it does. I’m using a PC and it’s been working fine.

It was only happening on my phone but I figured it out now after googling.
Seems like I had selected Power Saving on my phone which causes it to go into Dark mode on certain sites, depending on surrounding light. Must have accidentally done that last night when I was trying to select the Torch in the dark. 
I have a new S24 so I blame the different set up.

Any update on this? Seems to be worse for me tonight.

Hey team.
Have a zoom in while composing a reply issue where when composing a reply the window zooms itself in cutting things off.
iPhone 13 Pro running latest software and via Google Chrome.
Another issue I have been having is when using both the back buttons and the swipe to go back function it goes back out of MediaSpy completely.
