Where's the delete button?
« on: July 27, 2011, 05:42:17 am »
I recall there's a delete button in the member page somewhere where one can eject oneself from this forum without any fuss and no one knows...unless they smelt burnt pasta....what happened to that?

4. Accounts will not be deleted upon request.
So now if one wants to go, they just log out and never look back?

Can't remember but I know when I was a Mod somewhere or other there was a decision not to delete accounts as it then screwed up all the threads they had posted on.

It could have been here, or DW, or indeed anywhere else in the aether where I can't remember being.

It should be posted up as the 'Hotel California' policy!  LOL :)

Its gone because some members here have repeatedly deleted their accounts then come back to us again ! So It was though wise to remove the Goodbye and thanks for all the fish button :D
A man sees the rope in the twilight he mistakenly apprehends a snake and develops fear. To remove this fear he must remove the mind apprehending a snake by realizing that there is no snake. Even then, if the rope is left in the same place there is a danger that the same mistake will be made in the future. The only way to remove this danger is to remove the rope. Similarly, sentient beings observing their aggregates in the darkness of their ignorance mistakenly apprehend an inherently existent I. This mind grasping at an inherently existent I is the root of samsara and the source of all fear. To remove the fears of samsara we must remove this mind by realizing that there is no inherently existent I.

Geshe-la.
