PSA the Dump

[Deleted]

Account deleted! Thank goodness!
And that just crosses the line. Using peoples pictures for adds, um NO!

[sunshyneshay]

How is the best way to request to do that?

Those of you who did have it deleted, what method did you use?

I emailed Caitlin and waited a week to try and log back in. Couldn't log in.

I commented on the "Official Account Deletion Request" thread in The Bump HQ board (under Specialty). I think I said something like: "delete my account and all related content." With a few choice words after. My account was deleted within an hour.

The new Terms of Service posted on Jan 30th give TD the rights to use any posted pictures or content however they want. Imagine pics of your dear LOs in their crappy ads or videos. If you haven't requested that your content and account be deleted, now may be the time. There is more detail on Parenting boards of both boards although there is porn back up on TD so beware that one. Also, as another warning, if you log in on the desktop, it's almost impossible to log off. It's truly shady and pathetic.

That's just gross.

[robotpcr]

Yeah, I asked to be deleted on that HQ thread about 5 times and it hasn't been done yet. It's completely BS. I'll be emailing. Each time I've been logged out for way more than 48 hours.

This. On one of the administrative profiles it states that only requests in that thread, or done through email will be honored.

Thanks for posting this! I haven't been back since I joined here, it was rather freeing. I think my blood pressure doubled and I only went to the delete thread!

[shmee]

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea. What a bag of dicks.

So I did some searching on TD and it looks like you have been deleated.  The only stuff that I could find was when some one had quoted you.

I just searched for you, and your username and avatar showed up. But when I clicked on you to view your profile, it said "Deleted

The content you were looking for has been deleted"

Thank you! I'm too dumb to search I guess without an actual account
It's such BS over there

That is so frustrating. They are such a bunch of dicks.

Thanks for the heads up.

My account is still active. I think I'll spend some time today copying the PSA from the parenting board to other boards. People should know about this. Anyone have any ideas for how to suggest they move to this site without getting banned? I don't mind getting banned, but want to post the PSA on as many boards as possible, and I won't be able to to do it all at once. Plus, I'd like to keep within the TOS so they don't have an excuse to delete the posts.

Directing their users to another website is against their TOS, so it's likely gonna get you banned.

[samiamagirl]

This is good to know. My account is still active but I haven't been on there at all with the exception of an occasional drive by to look at the wreckage. When I get some time I'll request a full deletion of my account and content.

I was thinking of some kind of vague phrasing like, "This type of thing has led some people to request account deletion and move to another site." And if people inquire I can PM them. Over the line?

I just checked my account and they deleted all of my content, but I was still able to login to my account. Not sure how I feel about that since I requested my entire account and all content to be deleted. I also got a notification that on January 30th, they "promoted" me to "member"...same day the new TOU came out.

Oooh they are so shady...trying to tempt people back with "promotions". Harrumph!

[shmee]

Soooo any tips on how to logout? I was logged in automatically at work. WTF

[lupineaura]

Wait, did they delete the PSA thread on Parenting announcing this change? I can't find it...

HA! I also received emails telling me that their website is "new & improved" with better "community." Silliness.

[snapdragon]

UGH. I really don't want to delete my account, but the thought of them using any pictures I've posted there makes me ill. Guess it's time to get all my addresses of TK and into an actual address book.

The way they're pushing the app all over their website now is so sketchy.

[shmee]

And I'm deleted. That was hard for me to do, both logistically and emotionally. I went back and looked at my old posts before it was gone and I had a lot of history on there, made a lot of good friends on there, and had a lot of fun on there. Which just makes me so much more fuming pissed off and upset about what they did to that place. Ugh.

[smontz]

This may be a silly question, but does anyone know if that includes weekly pictures uploaded to the "My photos" section of the app? I used to upload a picture every week so they were all in one place on my phone.

[sunshyneshay]

I emailed them this: 

I want my content and account deleted immediately. None of this "we will delete it and you have to wait 48 hours" BS because I know several people that log in after the 48 hours and it still isn't deleted. If my account is not deleted you will be hearing from my lawyer. My email is --------------, my username is sunshyneshay.


and got this message back:

What's the email address to email them? 

At the bottom of the page when you go to the website I clicked "help", from there I clicked "Contact support" and sent them a message from there.
