+BlackWidow_and_Food Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Is it possible to delete old users accounts that are dormant or no longer used? I ask because the rubber haqddock created and account before he became the rubber haddock and gets two lots of notifications all the time plus we would like to clear the unused user name off the GC records. Is itr possible? Quote
+The Blorenges Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I don't think there's any way you can delete the unwanted account, but you can stop the email notifications coming through from it by Log in to the unwanted account and go to "Edit your profile" link (near the top) This takes you to Edit account details. Under "Email Address" section untick the box "Send me weekly emails of new caches". Enter the password in the box at the top of the page. Click on "Update Account" at the very bottom of the page.

+Bear and Ragged Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 If the account has found or hidden any caches, if you delete it, it will mess up peoples finds counts. If it is a dormant account contact @ geocache.com may delete it for you. Worth a try. But if all you want to do is stop the email, follow the above recommendation! (Which looks like someones after the new mods job! ) Quote

+sTeamTraen Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 we would like to clear the unused user name off the GC records. If you just want to be "tidy" towards Groundspeak, I wouldn't worry. I think they're up to about 1.6 million accounts created, so they won't be worried about getting back the disk space used by a single unused one. Quote

Between moderating, pushing the tea-trolley, and collecting the odd milestone I daresay Mrs B. has enough multi-tasking to do! Quote
NickPick Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I did hear once that the only way to delete an account was to change its name to Robin Lovelock. That was before my time here though. Quote

Now, that takes me back! But I don't think we should resurrect all that again, we are able to cause enough new problems not to revisit old ones. Quote

Well whatever..heres to the next hundred Wink I was explaining this to someone the other day. When I started there were about 100 caches nationwide, now I have 300 within 5 miles of me. I think they might be breeding! Quote
+lathama Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 when i started i remember my nearest cache was 45 miles away. There were only 27 in the country!! Quote
+Silver Horde Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Everytime I look in here that Robin Lovelock's name has cropped up again! Quote
