@stanleyopar2000 contact link at the bottom of the page. As someone not an admin, but working with GDPR, what is the problem about -

lwiz:
(As the GDPR mostly concerns storing personal information and it's handlingthe usual solution is deletion of the said account and all the personal data. If said person wants to get posts wiped, then (unless personal data that can be used in identification is revealed) nonissua whereas GDPR is concerned. Tough luck, what appears in the interwebz stays on the interwebz.

Content in threads fall into what's called "collaborative creation" and there are no European copyright laws (GDPR does definitely not apply, except in circumstances above) that give someone right to ask deletion of his/hers/its earlier postings. Administrators can do that, if they are nice anough and are asked nicely enough. You cant make demands.

(Not a lawyer, but had to study copyright laws under my curriculum and have to be sure the certain
things I administer are GDPR compliant) -

Then really only other thing I can imagine is that "Deleted User XXXXXX" still shows the sig with personal website/gamer profile or whatever, but I'd think sigs are disabled anyway for deleted users

Couple of ones I do run don't have the blurb, as we only run domain local cookies for keeping login data etc. (no google or whatever) and those are legal under GDPR without any extra notification.

@lwiz, When accounts get banned, email address and everything else is still logged, but not for deleted users (except for their profile picture and banner if they have one.) -

^this might be an issue, although keeping the details for preventing further misuse probably falls in to the fair use clauses

Yeah. Of course wherever the site is located GDPR brought in further complications concerning the personal data of EU citizens

Well a site owner could say they deleted everything and still keep records of it not saying this site would just that they easily could -
@
K3Nv3:
Plus other users quote information so they have to go in and delete every quote they made to that user as well

And that has what lead to data breaches, because the companies lack the ethnics of keeping their security up-to-date. They fail to understand and respond to protocols whenever they're told.
