Update: The answer to my question wasn’t certain, but the conclusion I came to is that there’s no option to delete my account for this Japanese website.
I have absolutely no clue where else to ask this. All the places I’ve thought of, I feel that people would get mad for being off topic.
First off, I can’t read Japanese. Some months ago I created an account on a Japanese website called 5Channel (be.5ch.net) because I was trying to help share an archival project for the Nintendo 3DS SpotPass service, which was shutting down at the time. I used Yandex translator to screenshot the web pages and navigate and understand the site and how to create an account. After making an account, I never ended up figuring out how to actually use the website.
So now, it’s been a few months, and all I want to do is delete the account which I no longer need. I’ve been using Yandex again to try to find a settings page for my account where I can delete it, but I simply cannot find the option anywhere. I know with some sites, you need to contact the site owners through email to delete your account, which is normally mentioned in the websites policy agreement. But no matter where I look, I simply can’t find any information on how to find this policy. Does anyone have any advice and/or knows a better place to ask for help with this? Thanks.
Don’t the built in translation features for Chrome or Firefox work? If not, I agree with the others to just leave it. A lot of websites don’t even have the functionality to delete accounts to begin with.
You could try looking for 消去 but I didn’t see anything with a google site search. I’m not going to visit the actual site.
What is 消去? DeepL translate says it means “Elimination”. I’m not sure what you want me to do with this.
It can mean delete in some contexts.
Oh ok, thanks. Not sure why some people are downvoting me for not knowing Japanese though. I’ll try to see if I can find those symbols on the site, but so far the furthest account option I’ve been able to find is to change the password.
I’m going to ask a simple question. Why do you think that you need to delete that account?
Yeah, just leave it. If the issue is that they keep sending you emails, redirect them to your spam/trash. Done.
I didn’t say anything about them sending me emails. But yeah, if that was an issue I would have done that, so thanks.
I just couldn’t think of any other reason you’d care.
Fair enough, but I gave my reason in another comment, so you should read that if you want to know.
So toxic
Could you honestly tell me how I’m being toxic please. I think you’re misunderstanding me and I genuinely want to know why you think this.
