  My last topic about this got close, but my account didn’t get deleted so I’ll make a new one until someone answer me for real.
  Here is what I posted the first time :

  I completly forgot this place until I recently sign up on another website and realised there was a photo of me instantly added to my profile on that site BECAUSE there’s one on yours. I don’t want and don’t need an account on your website and I want to delete it.

  I know there’s an article somewhere on here saying “WordPress accounts can’t be deleted”, so please don’t tell me that again. I find it quite amazing that you forbid your user to delete their account if they wish to do so, it is to us to manage what site we subscribed to or not on the internet and I don’t understand why and how you allow yourselves to decide that for us. I want to do so.

  So will you please delete my account ? Thank you for your help.

  Once again I KNOW about the data erasing stuff and leaving an empty email adress behind etc. This is not what I’m asking for. I’m asking for my account to be deleted and I want to know WHY WordPress is keeping me from doing so. Waiting for an answer. Your move, WP.

  Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  I don’t see any answer to my question there timethief and ONCE AGAIN it is not about reputation or anything like this it is about my right to delete my account, datas or not.
  I thank you for you answer but you are not helping me, we already discussed in the last topic. I’d like to get in touch with a happiness engineer or a staff member.

  Sorry, I just understood the reason you were telling me about. But I don’t think that’s WordPress role to take care of my reputation I can do this myself thank you.
