About deletion requests on The Dump ...

[TheEleventhHour]

I know several of us had requested account and content deletions but saw only our content wiped not our accounts. I went over there this morning to see if they had finally deleted my account and found some interesting information buried in a thread over on the BumpHQ board.

BumpCaitlin stated that they wipe content first but then it takes 48 hours for full account deletion to take place. Anytime you go over to TB under the account you requested to be deleted the clock resets. If you post again under your account (like I did asking why the hell my account was still open) they have to wipe out your content again and then reset the clock from there. 

So if you requested to be deleted LOG OUT and don't try again for at least 2 days or they'll reset the clock on the deletion process. 

Hope that helps!

I saw that, too. I do believe I am completely wiped out now.
I'm going to recheck in a couple of days because there's a conspiracy that they'll delete people then reinstate them afterwards when they think people aren't looking to get numbers back up. So we'll see if they're that shady.

YES. That is why I was so pissed when I noticed my account was still there. Every time I was logging in it would say "Congratulations on reaching member status!" and on the bottom of my profile page it would say "you and 390 other members have been promoted to member!" so I felt like they just want to look like they still have the numbers and are gaining new members rather than actually losing 3000+ people. I am sure advertisers won't like them losing thousands and thousands of people. 

They have proven they are super shady so I would not put anything past them at this point.

@yellowwallpaper12 They will delete your content first and then it takes 48 hours to delete your account. Every time you login the clock will reset on the 48 hour countdown. Also, I feel like they are deleting posts from that BumpHQ thread to request deletion.

[waffles]

Do you just have to post in the thread on the HQ board or send an email for full account and content deletion?

[waffles]

nvm. I see the sticky in bumphq. I requested my accounts be deleted.

[dmlk413]

Do you all know if deleting my bump account will also delete my nest account? I assume it will wipe everything out but thought I would ask first.

[TheEleventhHour]

waffles You can post in that thread, PM, or email. I personally emailed and my content was deleted within hours.

[TheEleventhHour]

dmlk413 I am not sure. I did noticed people on the BumpHQ thread requesting their Bump content and account be deleted but that their Nest or Knot accounts be kept intact so maybe it is possible? But obviously there were no responses because the BGs are pretty much avoiding answering any questions.

[dmlk413]

Thanks TheEleventhHour I will do some more digging. I would like to delete my bump account but only if I can keep my nest account.

[TheEleventhHour]

dmlk413 I would email [e-mail] and ask. They never responded to my email requesting deletion but they deleted my content almost immediately so someone is checking that email at a fairly quick pace! I am sure if you actually ask a question they will answer.

So now we wait...

[trexbeck]

I got that email as well where they said it take 48 hours. The problem I have is that they deleted my account before I could remove my signature. So hopefully tomorrow or the next all my stuff will be wiped out. Now we wait...

I spit my coffee out at "The Dump" That's the best!

[waffles]

They deleted the account I commented in the thread on first.

The other account I sent a PM about BEFORE the thread comment is still active.

[TheEleventhHour]

trexbeck Some people were reporting signatures were not being deleted with content however BGs said that was a glitch and they were working to make sure siggys get deleted too!

Good to know! Thanks TheEleventhHour !

It would've been nice if they would've said this right off the bat, but we wouldn't want them to actually do their jobs or anything since they're thuper busy making and decorating cutesy hats during work hours.

But yes, if you just requested deletions, definitely give it a few days before checking back in so it doesn't list you as a member.

My account is deleted. I requested yesterday morning in the BumpHQ thread.
Before I made the request I put the proboards link and a jpg of my GBCB in my siggy. I asked them NOT to delete my content (really so the MSPI check-in posts would still be there for anyone looking for them), so my posts are still there with my siggy, it just shows [Deleted User] instead of my SN. It probably makes me happier than it should...

[namastebiotches]

Just an FYI, I logged out, waited the 48 hours they claim to do & I can still log in.
I'd suggest checking that. I wasn't allowed to post since I was still 'new' but PMed BumpCaitlin again.

[junebugz1]

I just sent them another email. My content is gone, but not my account.

same here

[TheEleventhHour]

When you search for my username it says "Whoops user not found!" so I am assuming that means I am gone but I don't want to try to log in and potentially restart the clock lol.

I've been deleted. Its bittersweet.

It really is.  I definitely wanted my stuff completely gone, but realizing I had so many posts that were packed with information disappear, I got sad.
