Right to be forgotten
Generic Eric:
We were supposed to be talking more about "The Right to be Forgotten," & less about a particular person.
We should be able to talk about this without mentioning a person. It's an abstract idea worthy of conversation. Even if we can't reach a consensus among us, people should have an opinion. Because if you don't, others will decide for you.

It's the internet. I think it's annoying to see

or a blank post
and then read a bunch of stuff out of context. I don't think anyone uses their real name. If you want anonymity then keep your life out of it and stay on topic - as in arcade building and playing. I think nuking posts is just a headache. And then there's always a love-story follow up post....
So my opinion is that no, you shouldn't be able to delete your existence from the face of the forum. But if it happens it's no more than a mild inconvenience at best. It does take away from the hobby however when someone does a bunch of god work in some way or another and then it's gone. Hopefully by that time however enough people have copied and/or improved the method that the info is still around.

I hate losing the valuable information, but nothing lasts forever.

You have to agree to terms when signing up. No one has an explicit right to join a group.

So swap out the word "right" with "privilege". Same diff.
