I'm now known as John Smith, student at Brookdale Community College with an associates degree, aspiring to be an "Assistant Dog Catcher" (yes, that was one of the options in their auto-complete field) in Lodi, CA.

There was no option to delete the account, but after clicking "Deactivate", it still said that my account was now deleted, so who knows.

Edit: And now I received 2 emails from them that my recent submissions (filling in that form?) violated community rules.

I got the same modal, but I opened up DevTools, deleted the modal and was able to then click into my account settings and delete my account.

This is very very illegal, depending on jurisdiction.

I reloaded until I was able to tap twice fast enough to reach the profile page, then "delete"/"deactivate" the account.

I haven't logged in in years and I don't think I did much back then. Given everything I've read here, I think it might be safer just to let my account lie.

Same. Thought I must not have been signed in and was getting pushed into a signup flow or something, so I cleared cookies and got the same behavior once I logged in.

Forcing you to give them your real name before allowing you to use the site when logged in is incredibly scummy behavior I hope they are punished richly for.

Was it possible to use a fake name?

i did the same and was so, so infuriated by that.
