Wouldn't deleting messages be a whole lot of work? I know that some sites have the technology available for a person to not only delete their posts, but delete their accounts as well. I'm a member of a site that is hosted by an Internet company called Proboards, which operates this way. However, when an account is deleted, either by the person themselves, or by a moderator who has banned them from the site, their posts still remain...they just have the title of "Guest" underneath them.

I think you're hoping for impossible odds to truly delete a person from a website. There's always going to be SOME trace of them.

But, for your sake, LS, I hope you can reach common ground with this person and make some compromises so that you can both get some closure (if that's the right word).

Why would someone creat Bots to sign up on chat boards? I know there are bots that search out websites for the search engines, is that the same thing?

So what's up with these Bots you speak of (or should we call them "Those we don't speak of"?)

I believe their purpose is to post spam to our forums, but usually being a bot, they can't complete the registration process which requires responding to an email, and then being manually approved by one of the admins. A lot of Bots seem to have been born on January 1, 1980.
