Delete my post and images

[handrawn]

the general point of asking for posts to be removed is of interest to every regular member [maybe why the thread was made public]

your business I do not wish to know - I am just being polite - peace

I'll be perfectly honest I'd love to know your business (as it applies here). Especially since I have an ongoing ticket with Xara about our inability to delete our own material. But I do respect your privacy and I hope you get satisfaction. Still, I'm a nosy bugger so c'mon, entertain us!

Of course if you have posted something on here and it's turned up in a search engine and shows you in a bad light to an extant or prospective employer - that's a good reason to have everything you ever posted deleted.

That's the benefit of running your own business, LOL

PS. you have every right to request, nay demand, that all of the artwork you have submitted over the years be removed. It's in the rules.

Don't worry, they'll not use it in the following clip art gallery.

I think for what ever reason a member has , it is none of our business. But yes a member should be allowed to delete posts, graphics posted, or delete their whole account if they wish to.
Will it hurt the forums ? Of course not , that is silly. I do not have the power to remove your posts and graphics Risto. I would be glad to help you if I did. Perhaps someone with the proper admin privileges will oblige your requests.

Very true - I'm just being nosy

I don't think they will either do it or even be able to do it. Deleting an account is easy, but it doesn't delete any posts made by that account holder. Deleting his uploaded graphics is feasible and he has every right to request that, but deleting his posts is an almost impossible task, quite apart from the fact that this would render many threads he has contributed to meaningless or at least disjointed. Anyway, any text a user posts is deemed to be public (to the users of the forum) and afaik he has no right to request that his posts be deleted.

If there are a number of posts that he feels stop him earning money (i'm just guessing here) then he could simply ask that his account username be changed so that his posts cannot be identified to him. It's not ideal but it might get him out of this fix.

Anyway, I've just made a delicious vegetable curry and am going to sit back and enjoy it. Cheers for now, me dears!

lol i find this thead funny, it's not public but it's posted in a public forum. I guess you have artwork featured here that you would like to sell exclusive rights too. Hence the reason my real work and my hobby stay seperate.

Good luck with that one.

I know it is a bit late now and hope the OP manages to achieve his goal, of course he should be able to easily remove his own work.........................

For future reference for anyone else that posts artwork on any forum you would all be much better opening a seperate photobucket account or if you have your own hosting a folder that is only used for forums, then if you wish to withdraw an image from general public view or indeed if you wish to remove all of your images then it can be done easily by either deleting the image from the folder or image account or simply renaming the folder, this will then "auto" update and remove said image from every forum it has been used on.

Best of luck Risto as you have said this concerns nobody else and I hope you manage to sort the problem out

[handrawn]

problem is - moderator[s] have a habit of 'helpfully' adding your image to the forum, so then you are stuck like this

its in the rules that they can do this

A good thing about talkgraphics is that people haven't done as you suggest and because the threads have images hosted on talkgraphics, we haven't had old threads turn to mush as people change hosting providers or forget to renew old accounts.

Really, I think the best advice is not to post things that may prove problematic in the future, for whatever reason. For 99% of the talkgraphics population I can't really see that old posts will ever be an issue and I'd hate to see talkgraphics become full of broken images over time by following this advice.
