Hi,

I am wanting to remove posts I made from some now dormant accounts
from the archive you hold. Telling the server to do this is
straightforward as Lugnet accepts NNTP cancel requests.

However, what is not so strightforward is that to perform a
fully automatic cancel requires the orignal account.

I need a 'safe' method whereby posts made
from multiple dormant accounts, can be nuked from a single
current account..

Would it be possible for an admin here to contact me
directly in regard to posting removal, as I would
prefer not to have such 'nuke' information in public? :-)

Thanks.


Hi Alex,

do you feel confident that you internalized the whole purpose of a news archive?
I doubt we will make the deletion of own posts a duck soup for everybody ;-)

Of course, whenever anyone has a reason to cancel a post (duplicate posts,
strong misbehaviour (most notably libel and slander), illegal content etc.),
just drop me a line per e-Mail.

Thanks for your understanding,
René
