---- Deletion of user account - European forum


bstring - 12:06 pm on Apr 6, 2010 (gmt 0)


We had a problem with a member misbehaving in our forum - this ended up with a permanent ban.

He has now returned to us after a year, claiming we need to delete the personal information he has specified in his forum profile (basically just his real name). This according to the Data Protection Directive.
[en.wikipedia.org...]

Are we obliged to do this according to European laws? This member has been causing us quite some problems/damage, and we want to avoid helping him if possible.
