Delete my comments on a website that is not belong to me
-
Hello everyone,
(I hope my bad english will be understand, i apologize in advance)When i was young, i used to talk with a community in the comments section on a website. We used it as a blog (or discussion forum).
I wanted to delete all my comments i posted a few years ago because it contains a lot of personnal informations (youthful mistake, i was naive back in the days).
I know that only the admin of the website can delete comments, but i didn’t stay in contact with this community. And there are a lot of comments i would like to delete.
The website had to be deleted ’cause i know they migrated to a whatsapp group but as i see, this is not the case. It is more abandoned than deleted. :/
I posted a thread on the french wordpress support, they said that maybe someone would help me here.
Can anyone help me, please ?
I don’t really have peace of mind knowing that a lot of my informations are in this website. (i changed my pseudonym with the hope that it will change the pseudonym on these comments, but it doesn’t change it at all)Thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to give me some help.

Hi @xxxxx5454, it is true that only the admin can delete comments. Have you tried asking them? You could try responding to one of your comments, or posting in the whatsapp group. If they have lost access, and if the site is hosted here on our services, they can reach out to us for help.
-
If they don’t answer -which is common when admins abandon their sites- you can still contact the service provider or some authority with a Request for Takedown with the explanations you gave, that is reason enough.
-
To be honest, our story didn’t end well.
The admins are gone we don’t know where.
And i’m not in contact with the rest of the group.At the end, the communauty was divided.
And i’m not a part of them anymore. It’s very complicated.Plus, there are a lot of comments coming from 2 accounts of mine (maybe more than 500 ?)
If it’s impossible to delete all of them, can i just ask to delete some of them (like one introduction i did and two or three pictures i shared ?)
Thank a lot for your answer.

@xxxxx5454, before we get too far in the weeds, is the site hosted here? Are you willing to share a link?
If it is, and if needed, you can use the abuse form and link to the page that has problematic personal information, and explain the situation there.
-
The site is hosted on wordpress.
If you need the link, can i send it to you in a private way ? (i don’t want it to be visible to everyone, hope you understand)Otherwise, i’m going to report the blog with all links.
Thank you for the help. -
You can type it as an email address like this:
(email visible only to moderators and staff)and it should be hidden from everyone but staff (unless you put code tags around it like I did.)It will appear like this:
(email visible only to moderators and staff)edit: apologies, apparently you can’t see the example address either. Type it like this:
youroldusername @ theaffectedaddress.wordpress.com
but without spaces. Then the forums software will redact it so only staff can see it.

So, it’s (email visible only to moderators and staff)
As i see, the blog was abandoned in 2018.
I left it around july 2017.But the comments which are problematics start from march 2018 (my debut in this community).
It’s a literary blog. But there was post every month we used as discussions post.(email visible only to moderators and staff)
If you need other informations, you can ask me, i will tell you.

(sorry for the triple post, i don’t know how to edit my message)
I made an error, my comments started from march 2016*, not 2018. -
