NationStates Jolt Archive

Back in 2005 I had a different account. Although I had many of the same political views as now, I was inarticulate and rather stupid. To make things worse, I was stupid enough to use my real (full) name in my nation name! So now those idiotic posts are forever stuck with me. I can no longer remember the password I had, so I cant delete those posts, I cant even remember what email adress I had, so I cant delete my posts. Does anyone know how to get those posts deleted?

Barrygoldwater? :p

If they were from a more foolish time for you why give them any merit or significance anyhow?

Let them fade from your memory, because they've most likely faded from ours.

I only had 15 posts. But one of them (idiotic) is the first thing to come up when you google search my name.

Wrong forum, pally.

Whoops, you're right. I guess I forgot there were any forums other than General.

Because my full name is used in the name. As I hope for a political career, this could be potentially Not Good.

Go to the "Getting Help" page over at nationstates.net and request that your old nation be revived. Once it has been, do an ego search for posts written by that nation and then delete them. Wipe hands off pants and hope google eventually purges its search cache.

I don't know why I'm helping you, though. Apparently they are damning views, yet you write: "Although I had many of the same political views as now". I don't think I'd want to see you elected to anything, now...

Its not the views, its the way I articulated and expressed them. Also, I had an oversimplistic view of the world and was rather foolish about the thought of racism. When I said same political views, I meant I was liberal and stayed liberal.

If you did get into politics, and this unearthed, you could have simply denied it. But that opportunity just passed you by, didn't it?

Woohoo, you're not Barrygoldwater!

How many people know who "Slythros" is? Would you recognize him? I didnt think so.

2005? Buddy, nobody reads those oldies anymore.

How many people really google search your name? Afraid crazy stalker chicks might find out you had controversial beliefs? Because that could be a good thing.

err... you realize that until now, those posts would only be tied in to that Nation's name (which could be anything... including a name randomly pulled out of some obscure book, or even a close friend or even someone who slapped two names randomly.) but since you so graciously informed us that your FULL NAME was in that nation. NOW those posts are forever tied in to YOU and not your nation. :rolleyes:

just wanted to let you know... :p

Woohoo, you're not Barrygoldwater!

Oh, come on. BaAuH20 was a lot of fun.

i was gonna say do a google search,seems you did that...youth is wasted on the young i suppose....get over it.

Did I mention I have political aspirations? And it's pretty obviously a name?(which I didnt mention).

If there is nothing else to tie you to the nation besides the name, then you have plausible deniability. Unless that name is unique or special in a way that attaches it to you specifically, you can blame the embarrassing posts on someone else with the same name.

The password bit is irrelevant since I think you get a new one when they resurrect it, but I believe you do need to know the e-mail address...

This is correct, as Preebles got her account resurrected, even though she had long forgotten the password.

LOL...when your prez, this'll come back to bite you in the butt.


(I've been an ass on this thread, and I fully apologise. Good luck with the politics.)

... ever thought of asking the mods nicely to delete those posts by your old nation?

you can make the request in the moderation section.

Sometimes the dirt from our past is needed to keep us from gaining positions of power :P

Get on MSN or Skype man!
