Hi gumislav,

It is not possible to delete your Silk Road account. You simply have to empty it of BTC, log out of it and leave it inactive for a number of months and it will be archived. Once it is archived, it is no longer accessible without a message to admins requesting access to it.

You cannot delete a Tormail email account, to the best of my knowledge. Just delete everything in it and log out. As far as the forum goes, you can go into your "show posts" list and manually remove your posts (Profile -> Summary -> Show Posts), then delete your account in the Profile -> Summary -> Actions menu.

Please make sure to remove anything that you want gone before you delete your profile as we do not delete member's posts here.

There's no way to delete the SR account, but you can definitely start a new one if you'd like.  As for the forums, you can delete your account yourself, but if you want any of the posts deleted, you'd need to do that manually first.

If you can't delete the thread starter posts, simply edit them to say nothing. Unfortunately you cannot change your username for the forum, no. Simply delete as much as you can, delete the account and assume a new identity here.

Thanks very kindly Libertas...

I have done as per your instructions and edited out everything I wrote...

The only extant record now is in your posts where you have quoted me...

Any possibility that you could edit those out...?

Sorry or the bother...

I just want to make sure that everything I do here is 100 percent bulletproof...I am learning quite a bit and I think this technnology platorm can be 100 percent secure...the problem arises i and when we give out identifying snippets o information...even writing styles...

Let's not fool ourselves...the surveillance state has untold resources in manpower and billions o dollars and the most sophisticated equipment that no one knows even exists...

We must be on our guard to not give away any snippet of information that can be linked to the real web and our real identities...

I think in cases where SR users have been compromised it is in exactly this way...careless dropping of certain phrases...that can then be linked to a real person...

Regards,

Gumi...

PS: I will be editing out the text of this message in a few minutes also...

PPS: how do I then close this forum account...?

I'll edit as many of my posts containing your dialogue as I can. Please PM me links to them. To close the account go to Profile -> Account Settings -> Actions (left hand side menu) -> Delete this account. Note that the username "gumislav" will not be deleted from any posts that are left behind.
