Requesting purge of accounts on Lifehacker (Gawker Media Network), read for details
accounts, artfuldodga and artfuldodga_ respectively, my main account artfuldodga had commenting disabled so i feel no need to take part, share my thoughts on lifehacker or any other part of the gawker network.
i would like these accounts purged from your network as they contain some minor personal information but still personal non the less.
i've looked for a way to remove the accounts themselves but i see no such method, as most modern websites provide this option, also asked for information on my disabled commeting status but have gotten zero response in return.
thanks in advance for your time.

Hi there -- as per our terms of use, I'm afraid we don't delete user accounts and comments because someone had a change of heart about writing something, just as the New York Times wouldn't pulp a paper run because someone didn't like how they were quoted in the paper.
thanks,
Scott

Inappropriate?i never asked that you delete my comments, i've had no change of heart in that respect and why would you assume so? i wanted my account removed, the assoicated comments?... keep them, by all means, i just didn't want any of my information assoicated with your web site, handle? thats nothing.
but its good to know the gawker networks stance towards privacy standards on the web towards its users, at least for future reference -
Inappropriate?oh, and the NY Times would allow me to unsubscribe (cancel, close my account/subscription) from their services, what you've stated does not make much sense in this regard
-
Inappropriate?Hi there -- apologies that my initial response was a little unclear, I had misread your initial request.
We are happy to disable accounts upon request, however it seems that yours has already been disabled. If you have any email address associated with your account, you are welcome to remove it.
However, we are unable to unassociate your handle with your previous comments.
thanks,
Scott -
Inappropriate?Where do I go to have an account disabled? I recently made a second account with the intention of having the first account removed completely (I don't care if comments stay).
