I can fully understand why a service like this would not work, nor be advised. Same as paying to speak to a 'medical doctor' online for X amount of money. Highly unprofessional and to be avoided at all costs.

Ah ok, yes I have seen them inside posts etc. There are a lot of them. Doesn't bother me, just an observation etc.

Out of interest, I notice that this site is full of adverts. Who gets the monetary proceeds from these? Should the mods not see some of it? Most forums are voluntary based, run by some who see it as a vocation, and I imagine, by other's who lets face it: have just a lot of time on their hands to do so and enjoy it.

Ah shucks missus! Thanks for the lovely words :) I'll stick around a bit and try to help others, sure I'm a aul granny now at 44 with lots of ups and downs behind me, and sure I've paid for a month now so can run amok and delete my posts left, right and centre LOL (jokes ;) xx

I imagine it would be similar in Canada ;) Or globally.

Thanks, I am aware of that. The fact you have to pay is disgraceful, but fair enough, their site, their rules.. Should a site be found out from charging for this service and not actually delete it, would imagine the legalities would be off the charts esp. in the US. I won't be posting up any new threads ever again on here. But I have greatly appreciated the good advice I was given and taken it all on board. Happy to try and help other's with words of encouragement etc but I'll probably fizzle away from this site in a few days. The genuine request to have my info deleted and it being refused, left a very bad taste in my mouth. Also the moderation is off the charts. But I'm not really bothered about the latter. It's just a forum. Thanks again for your help.

Super thanks a million for that.

Thanks a lot for that. So I see there is a 14.99 fee. If I pay that I can delete my posts and threads started? Just to clarify? Many thanks. Sorry to ask, I just don't really trust this site much.

Can you inform me on how I can do this please? Many thanks.

So if I pay $35 I can have my thread deleted? No Q's asked? Personally I have never heard of a site which has this 'service'. I can't read about it in the rules. Is it legal to do this and not have it in the clauses when joining?

is this true?

I have to say I think it is appalling that threads cannot and will not be deleted. I requested one to be deleted and gave fair and reasonable reasons why but was told: no. The time limiting factor of 30 minutes to edit posts is a huge turn off in posting anything personal here or wanting to seek help/advice. I'll try and help people but I won't post up a thread again asking for advice knowing know it flatly won't be deleted if kindly requested. It feels a bit nazi-ish (i'll probably get a ticking off for that and more bold points now/banned, so be it). People write stuff up here when in times of emotional turmoil, I think it's horrendous that they can't erase these impulsive words after 30 mins. If the actual purpose of this site is to help people, let them be helped and move on. Part of that is taking the advice on board and feeling confident it has been removed. It's peace of mind and if not adds to the distress of the OP in the first place. I find it difficult to get my head around the gain of having a forum full of posts (most obvs OP's are happy to leave up) but it all just seems a tad weird and counter intuitive to me.
