Can a mod do it or should I contact OMAC and how do I do that?

Go about a month without logging in. Though given that you've averaged 30 posts a day I can't imagine that'll be easy.

I need my account cancelled as soon as possible. I can't wait a month. Hence, why I'm asking how to do it.

We don't cancel accounts on request. It's up to you, the player, to stop coming here. Even if you do walk away, you can resume at any time by simply logging back in.

I can't think of any reason for canceling an account other than your lack of willpower and inability to simply walk away. If you've got another valid reason, please tell us. Post it here, or if you need privacy, file a Getting Help request.

I can think of one or two... to do with either employment, or other people learning too much about something you might have said.

Kind of like how the boyfriend in the Palin story got roasted over his myspace page, or some employers have started googling their potential employees. Just for example. Under those situations - or others like them, it might be very useful to make it all just go away.

If he wants to delete some or all of his 6,460 posts, he's free to do so. I'm not going to do it for him.

I don't need you to erase all my posts, I was asking, presumably, the proper channel about something I had a doubt with. You're the mods, are you not?

Oye, por qué quieres deletar tu cuenta? Me duele mirar a un amigo otaku irse. No te vás! :(

They are the mods, but mods do not delete accounts. What you can do is come up with a random password that you will never remember and change your email so you can't get it emailed to you. The nation will die in about a month.

Or, you know, just stop logging in.

Indeed it is not. So please don't.

sorry to hear you're leaving. :(

one way to... check yourself out... is to change your password to a random series of characters (you only need to remember it long enough to confirm it) for both Jolt/OMAC and your NS Nation.

then THROW AWAY the password.

then when you are tempted, you won't be able to get in.

you can also add the site to your security as a restricted site.
