I have a different account on Rosetta home page with 86 credits. I want this account deleted (870706). I want my other Rosetta account to show up on Rosetta with all my current credits/wu's, etc. How is this done? I cannot get a straight answer and want the account stated above deleted and the other put in its' place. ID: 55501 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

This thread is using the term account to refer to user IDs. Your "Richard" user ID only shows one inactive machine created on it. ...and I've already explained that it is not possible to merge credits from one user ID to some other user ID. It's a pretty straight answer. You will have to chalk all 86 credits up to a learning experience. I suggest you ask further questions at the stats site you are using.

PLEASE DELETE MY ACCOUNT This is about Science! What part of paper trail leaves room for no way to track back to who did what, answer NONE! So go read the original post in this thread and change your info to something you are okay with and the Science info will not lead back to you personally, but instead to some nondescript account.

But, for those that think that deleting the account will make everything about you go away on the internet that may have come from this ... guess again ... it won't happen ... Google and the other search engines keep their own copies of information they scan as do the various "time Machines" that cache snapshots of the whole of the Internet. So, even if it were possible to delete the account ... the information will still be out there ... As for PPaH, all the admin did is what Mod.Sense said ... he changed your e-mail address and possibly your name ... that makes it so you cannot use the account. If you know your id number you can still see the data (assuming the site is up) ... for example, if I recall correctly my id was 881 which you can tell from the profile that it is me ... Not that it matters much, the project seems to be dead ... ID: 58977 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

I want my account to be deleted as soon as possible. Thank you in advance! Just go in and change your email address to something non existent and then your account is effectively gone. In Science nothing can be truly deleted, but your account can be orphaned by doing as I suggested. ID: 59555 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

This is a Science Project, no deleting of data is allowed. What IS allowed though is for you to go into your account and change the info to gibberish. So in your case your user name right now is Joghurt, change it to djsijsp, for instance, change your email to me@myplace.biz, for example, and anything else to something else non existent. Essentially YOU are gone but the account stays as a place holder for the Science you did while here. Even if you crunched no units, you attached and are part of the stats.
