Hey, looking through the settings I seem to not be able to find a way to delete for example my account. Is it not possible or have I overlooked something?

Yes, unfortunately it’s not possible for people to do this themselves right now it seems:

> If you have only one or two posts and your account is new, you can self delete.

From [Delete my account - #2 by codinghorror - site feedback - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/delete-my-account/120331/2)

If you would like to have your account deleted, any of the admins could do that. Would of course be a bummer but just let us know. 🙂

I can’t seem to find a place where to edit my profile text that says: " Designer at Snowdrift.coop & FreedomBox" – is that for the same reason?

Would be great to be in complete control of ones account.

It seems to be only admin-editable by design to prevent impersonation, see [https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-a-user-edit-their-user-title/26681](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-a-user-edit-their-user-title/26681)

Let me know what you would like to have it set to (or fully removed) and I can change it for you. 🙂

Thanks! Just remove the “& FreedomBox” – that would be awesome.
