Doesn't seem to any obvious way to do this . .

Thanks

Actually you don't cancel or delete an account, you simply quit posting. For instance, you started a thread asking for advice on creating the ultimate Web site for an airline. Many members contributed a great deal of really good advice for you. By being able to delete an account, all the other members contributions would disappear since it was all tagged on to your originating post. I think you might understand that hardly seems fair. Since behind the user name we never ask for anything more than an email address, there really is nothing to delete as that is not even in the public domain. The value of FlyerTalk comes from contributions - thanks for yours and we all hope the most valuable information you were given by the members of FlyerTalk has enhanced your career.

Hope his simple explanation helps.

Kind of a smarmy answer to a simple question.

Also, you should state this as policy up front. Your logic of quid pro quo is a fair one except you don't let people know that they can't quit . .not exactly open and honest so don't give me all this "spirit of the community" business.

I didn't say I wanted to delete all the previous content and I did appreciate the comments given . . . if that's how your site would work it's hardly my fault. By the way I was soliciting info in order to try to make lives of flyers easier too . . . so it wasn't a one way street.

Whatever you reasoning is . . everyone should have the right to disengage from sites they sign up to . . . you say you don't ask for anything more than an email address but you abuse even that piece of info . . . . especially when said sites continuously ignore requests to stop spamming them.

By spam are you talking about the monthly FT newsletter? That's the only e-mail I receive. Why not just set up your e-mail account preferences to have it sent into a trash folder, and you'll be done with FT entirely.

Go to your membership options. You'll find a series of boxes you can click that begin with:

Receive Email
From time to time, the administrators may want to send you email notices.

If you do not want to receive these notices, disable this option.
Receive Email from Administrators

You can set that up to disallow any communication.

If the people who design airline websites can't even set their own communication preferences or create an email rule, it goes some way to explaining why airline websites are so sucky...
