Comment on Where should I ask for help deleting an account for a Japanese website?
DreitonLullaby@lemm.ee 1 week agoNah, I can’t get the Firefox translating to work. And websites not having a built-in account deletion option is the reason many sites offer (usually buried in their policy) the option to have it manually deleted, only if you directly contact them via email. I’ve done this with a few websites before and it’s a pretty easy process.

I think having a way to delete accounts is legally required by some jurisdictions. And sometimes if a site does business in such a jurisdiction and are required to have a way to do that, they’ll still offer that option those outside the jurisdictions in question. (It’s easier to just allow everyone who asks than to have rules keeping track of who can and can’t legally demand it.)
But if this is an image board hosted in Japan intrended for a Japanese audience, and if Japan has no such legal requirements (or if such requirements don’t apply here for some reason), then it’s highly plausible they just don’t have any way to delete accounts.
