    Profile pictures have been deleted, but not necessarily at the same time as other content/info linked to an account.
    I have my own account as an example of this.



    I had 2 profile pictures uploaded, one of them was deleted, the other not.

    As one was deleted it used forceful the other.

    To anyone who dislikes this,


    MinecraftForum followed the correct procedures and if your account was removed, then something was wrong on either your end, or something out of peoples control. Please do not blame any certain person for this.



    As I stated in the other thread, they could have just sent at least in forum PMs. Those had been received by any ACTIVE user.

    So that is not on "our end", neither is this "out of peoples control". It's just sloppy.


    As I also stated in the other thread, BEFORE deleting accounts and all posts, they could have deactivated them some time before the transfer was done. This also had pushed active users to follow the procedure (which the majority obviously didn't even know about now).


    Yes, there's nothing to do about inactive users, but the damage caused could have been a way lower than it is now.

    Beside this, I'm still not even sure, if it was even necessary to delete the forum contents at all, as to my understanding the whole law is about personal data. But that's another story and I'm no lawyer unfortunately.


    But I still appreciate the effort being done now.

    This is annoying. My email account is idk how many years old (15 years? 20 yrs?)
    I use it for registration processes but also getting alot of spam, I dont check every single email - and obviously a large amount of users dont aswell.

    Havent you noticed the lack of feedback from your sent emails? I even wonder if you actually cared about it?

    Because if you had just sent messages through the forum (and if it's just asking the user to check their email -> including their spam folders, cuz mails tend to go into spam sometimes), then ACTIVE USERS actually had gotten the message.


    Also I still don't get what has been actually done now..

    What I see is, we lost our usernames (which I could recover somehow) and all our posts (incl. complete threads) have been deleted.


    Now I really don't get it.. I can log in, I can change back my username. Now it is done? Or will i be "deleted" again?
    It feels like deleted but not fully deleted and I am like "?????"

    The users you are seeing with "user-[number]" names are members who are within the EEA but did not consent to the transfer and therefore their accounts have been deleted. The process is ongoing and will continue through the weekend, so during this time you may see some content display and then disappear.


    How to consent when we've not been asked?
    I can't speak for others, but no1 asked me for anything, then suddenly the forum is completely messed up on my end.
