    Unfortunately, you will not be able to delete your comments, so these will stay with your account.

    Using an obscene picture for your profile picture will get your account banned, but this is not a mature way of disassociating the account from you.

    Once it expires (which is usually minutes to hours later), you won't be able to log in.

    Once you do this, there is no going back.

    If I change everything on the account, will people who read my stories and commented be able to know it's me?
    Community Answer
    If they have already read and commented your stories before, there is a chance that they will know who you are. You probably shouldn't worry about that, because if you change your password, and never log back in, you already have deactivated, in a way.

    What is a "disposable email address"?

    A disposable email address is just a random email address that you use to register for things or buy things without giving away your real email.

  • Question
    If I have tried to PM someone who has changed their fanfiction name, will my email still arrive?
    Community Answer
    If it's just their username, your PM will most definitely arrive. If the person disabled their option of getting PMs, the PM won't come through.
