Forum accounts are generally not deleted. Since people's posts are part of a public debate (and often quoted in other posts) just deleting all posts of one person does not make sense.

You can edit your profile and posts to take out any private / identifiable information.  It is also possible to change your username by PMing one of the adminis. If someone else posted your private information you can also contact an administrator to work it out.

The last resort is to have an administrator deactivate your account. Then we will ban the account, change your username and registered email address to something unidentifiable, and clean out your profile/ratings. But your posts still won't be deleted.

Users can delete their own posts. OP in question has 2 posts, of a thread which they started.

Ergo they can delete the thread.

Ergo admin can delete the thread.

Ergo admin can delete account without consequence :p.

That other thread of his is actually a good question and a common misunderstanding people have. So, removing that (by removing the thread or his posts) is not advisable.
