PLEASE DELETE MY ACCOUNT
-
Hello,
I understand that you do not have an automated method for deleting an account, but I want my account completely deleted please, this is well within my rights, and you must provide your users with this method as I believe it is a legal obligation as well.
please completely delete my account from all databases on wordpress.com (other services should not be affected, such as gravatar.com) thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

PS: this is stupid that this goes to a forum, should be sent directly to support, but I guess they don’t want to bother with having a support team …

this is well within my rights,
Actually, it isn’t. Accounts are the property of WordPress. They merely let you use it at their discretion.

Username accounts are not deleted but 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/1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
http://wordpress.com/#!/following/subsettings/3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

http://en.gravatar.com/profiles/edit/?noclose#about-youYou can also hide your Gravatar profile from external access. Visit your profile page (click your name in the top navigation of the website), then click the “Hide My Profile” link in the bottom, right-hand corner.

These are support forums. No one cottons to legalistic people who fail to provide actual help. We Volunteers and Staff help to even the most arrogant and off base people who post here. You know how to link to that help so please do that or I will be tempted to be in your face telling you to find some other place to lurk and jerk. -
@timethief thanks, that’s what I’m doing now …
still its a shame there is no automated way to do this … there should be a global effort to make this a requirement of all online services, starting with law makers…
thanks.

It doesn’t take long to do and I think it will be automated in the future. You’re welcome.
