Back again with more questions! Not long ago, I heard from some wiki/out of some conversation that sometimes admins will delete all of a user’s posts if the user requests it. I assumed this would only be in certain situations where it was actually mandatory such as if a user had revealed more personal information on the platform throughout their entire posts and would like to completely remove themselves from Fandom/the wikis they were on, etc.
It seems like such a big thing, and I couldn’t find any articles explaining whether admins/moderators should be considering “could you delete all my posts/comments?” sort of requests to reach a conclusion of whether the user’s request should be validated and complied with.
What I mean is, when/if a user might ask for all their posts/comments to be deleted, should admins/moderators . . .
Comply with their request without needing reason
Need a reason that IS valid to perform the action
Be fluid—aka neither of the above options may independently apply to all communities, but rather it is completely based on the judgement and request handling style of each wiki’s staff team
I hope this wasn’t too confusing! All thoughts and direction and appreciated! Thankyou for reading.
