That's probably why they do delete any personal data on request.
The thing with forums is that every thread is built from discussion between people. Deleting accounts of previously active members would put massive holes in such threads, making them hard to follow. While you may not have posted a lot, I think they had to set a general policy on the matter. Just look at Reddit for example, older threads there can be hard to follow with deleted posts and accounts in them, and people responding to questions you can no longer see.

This is quite interesting that you don't delete accounts. I thought that it is always possible due to GDPR, especially in Eurobricks forum. 🤔

The GDPR is made to protect Personal Data, whereas accounts here are anonymous.

Exactly. That’s why we delete personal data from accounts but not the account itself

Exactly this. I was in an other forum, where they deleted accounts and the posts just stated deleted user then - so it was hard to follow the discussion when there are actually several deleted accounts in there because you couldn´t tell if it is the same person replying or someone else.

Thank you all for clarification. I didn't think about that in this way. I have seen that my nickname was changed, for which I am thankful. If I could have a final teeny weeny request, is it possible to delete "heronicle" and leave only "deleted" part in my nickname or if it is not possible due to the existence of similar nickname, change it into e.g. "deleted123"?

Uhmmm how are you still able to post?! I changed/deleted your email address?! That’s weird.

I think as long as the account exists, that remains possible unless the account is set to inactive (and therefore cannot reactivated due to no email address).

Indeed. He was probably still logged in.

So you didn't create the post with the book?

Have you changed your EB password in the meantime? Because it seems someone got your credentials and created the topic.
