Delete my account?

Hi, um, can a moderator delete my account?
I signed up to YWO because I thought it would be a good place to post my writing (and it is, it's nice), but I've realized I'm probably never going to use it... I don't really have time anymore.
If someone could help me with this that would be great.
Thanks.

Mods can only ban you, I think, which won't delete any posts and will be just as effective as if you just leave and never check in again. If you want to be fully deleted you need to find an admin (Lykaios)

I'm an old shrewd russian guy, and I feel like I know what it is all about, it's not about your desire to leave, it is about your desire to be begged to stay. If that is the case, well, I plead, I beg, I pray, please, stay here, at least, till summer. Then you may leave for the summer vocations, if you don't change your mind, okay?

We can't actually delete accounts (or if we do, I don't know how, and I've never seen any other admin do it before so there might be some unspoken rule about it) but you can feel free to remove all your information from your account and let it join the massive graveyard of inactive accounts and be forgotten.
