I recently requested the deletion of my account https://opengameart.org/users/duion AND all data associated with it, as it is my legal right to do so, but nobody responded to me except https://opengameart.org/users/medicinestorm who instantly deleted my account without deleting any of my data.
She then said I would have had to request my content to be deleted, which is not possible anymore, since my account was banned, for manually editing my contributions, which is my right, since they are mine.
Then she blackmailed me that I would have to list every item that I want to have deleted individually and then wait for her "review" and "deletion" of it and only then I was allowed to post another link. I kept up with it, but soon got bored and posted the full list, since I had a long list of items to delete, then she refused to do anything for me anymore and essentially steal my content and my data.
According to your own websites rules I have the right to have contributions that someone else uploaded against my will to be taken down: https://opengameart.org/content/faq
This is what happened as an admin banned me and stole my account to put up my contributions again.
So far only my account was deleted and none of my contributions and not even my comments were deleted nor anonymized.
So I now request all my data on this website to be deleted as it is my right to do so. Stop being thieves and if you want to steal my content at least have the balls to do it yourself under your own name, don't steal my account, manipulate it and make it look like I would approve it to be here.
You sure? You talked about it alot and went through the trouble of searching "all over the internet" to find traces of my company or its games. Why bother going to my website? Got caught being a cheat and a fraud yourself now you want to shift the light on my work. I have nothing to hide and my monetary growth speaks for itself, I don't have to give a crap about your opinion.

Besides, just having a game published doesn't mean its going to be good or successful, but you already know that dont you. 6 years in development, using a third party engine Torque 3D and Uebergame is still fail.
You keep saying things that are flat out untrue. SOMEONE has to correct you. You're trying to spin OGA in a bad light and its ridiculous. The admins don't benefit from people's submissions, it's users do and I don't appreciate your attacks on the community and then your bullcrap, half-cocked defense about data protection laws that you dont know anything about and don't even apply to your situation.
I will not allow you to use this thread as a bullhorn to spout your garbage and I will check you each time.
I'm not harassing you, I'm just putting you in your place. The admins here have to retain an image of civility, but I do not, and I don't care.
Getting your stuff removed is a private matter. What are you posting in the forums for talking about things like blackmail??? You're trying to attack OGA so why WOULDN'T I be pissed!
It's ok, I understand a little more since you went and wrote about the whole thing with tear filled eyes in your journal like a 10 yr old girl. Now the tantrum makes sense.
Looks like a lot has been discussed while I was finishing that up. Seems like Duion failed to understand (again) what I was saying. When I said "Don't bother responding. we're done." I was not saying "I'm stealing your content and posting as anonymous just to spite you!" I was saying "now that you've indicated everything you want deleted, there is no need for you to say anything else. We're done communicating. You can leave now."
@Duion: if you had bothered to look at the links you yourself indicated before going on this latest rant, you'd notice they were all deleted already long ago. Looks like a few other users noticed and even tried to tell you so. It was your own actions that made it take such a long time to remove the rest of your content. Yes, as you said, it would have been much easier and faster if you just requested deletion of your account OR clicked the deletion button on your submissions. The first would have been simplest, but requires an admin action. The latter requires no admin action since it is immediate and automatic. Instead, you changed all your submissions, without deleting them, to display what I can only assume was more of the same offensive and insulting nonsense we've seen here. I even see an indication in the system that the download files you replaced contained something suspicious or harmful. I don't know if you'd actually upload malware to your own submissions in some twisted attempt at a scorched earth policy (the files were "reverted" by the system before you sent your request for account deletion), but I'm afraid I no longer have enough faith left in your common decency to rule that out. As for the forum comments, those will have to stay in place. Not only do I have no way to track down all the anonymous comments (and it seems you don't know where they all are either), but deleting them undermines the conversations they are a part of. As much as I'd like to delete all the insulting nonsense you've said on the forum, it needs to remain to preserve the thread histories. Integral also for showing an uncensored version of events.
@everyone else: I apologize for the drama here. My intent was to grant duion the request for removal he made and allow us all to move on with our lives as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, that was dragged out much longer than anyone wanted. If anyone feels my actions were inappropriate or has questions about what happened or how OGA handles data privacy, I will do my best to answer.
@dimensionscape: "The admins here have to retain an image of civility, but I do not" As an admin, I certainly should be doing my best to retain an image of civility. Although my aggrivation with duion was apparent and did not live up to that standard, my actions were never done in malice. However, as an admin, I would request that everyone try to support an image of civility, even when others are being unreasonable. "Don't feed the trolls" as they say. After all, Duion was banned for being uncivil, albeit repeatedly and after ample opportunity to correct behavior.
He has not stopped being uncivil and continues to be insulting and rude. He was given multiple warnings before being banned, of course, but it still continues. I had hoped duion would take this opportunity to give his side of the story and say what he wanted to say without being "censored". Duion has indeed taken that opportunity, but only to show us why he was repeatedly banned in the past.
@Duion: The posts you've made from this new account have started out mostly-reasonable-if-not-accurate and have descended into a flame war of personal attacks. I have tried to give you as much time as possible for you to express any outstanding greivances. It has been over 2 days since you initated this thread with no restrictions on what you could say or how. If this is what you were aching to say when the admins "censored" your free speech, you have nothing to say that you haven't already said. As you claim, you have the right to be forgotten. Request granted: I will be excercising that right on your behalf: The Duion2 and all future alias accounts will be banned immediately.
For anyone wanting to understand the situation more, this is a timeline of the events as best as I could determine from the information available:
Questions about this are welcome, disagreements with mine or others actions may be voiced, but if the conversation deteriorates and becomes uncivil after this I will have to lock the thread.

I am requested to act as a correspondence for Duion, here is his message:
You did not delete all of Duions submissions and his comments are also not anonymized, they show as "Duion (not verified)joined 0 sec ago". Additionally you did not only not anonymize his posts, but publicized his IP adress which is personal data, which is legally even more critical than just a nickname.
And Duion said he wanted his account and all data deleted as he said here, which you quoted yourself: "I hereby request the deletion of my Opengameart account https://opengameart.org/users/duion all data associated with it. According to data protection law I have the legal right to that. You don't offer a method for that, so I just edited my contributions, but now since you banned my account because of that, I want my account and all contributions deleted, since I don't want to be associated with any of that anymore. I write from a second account, since you do not provide any other way to contact you. "
Edit: some minor mistake. 2nd edit additional links from him latest message.
Also he added he found those files which are still not yet deleted:

I am helping him to find any additional content which are not yet deleted as he has obviously a bit bigger trouble getting his message out. So far from my result when I tried to search for his name or related to his game project under all art assets I haven't found anything made by him at least not according to the provided search function here, the only results I have from him is that there is a lot of places under several art assets were his comment are still visible for the public which shows as "Duion (not verified)".
They are all CC-0 with Anonymous as their author field. You should be well aware of the implications of the CC-0 license before posting anything under it. Calling people thieves after that is pointless
Even if they are deleted someone can reupload (but of course that would not be very polite)
Also a website is a service, administration can deny your access anytime they want. Don't forget that there are websites which would ban even their paid customers.
His IP was never shared. Only compared to existing logs, which was before his account was deleted. The IP address log was deleted along with his account. I was not aware of any other duion submissions still present. Again, I had to rely on Duion to tell me where they were. I'll work on deleting this latest list and, if I come across others, I'll proactively remove those per his request. However, it is a manual process so it takes some time.
To reiterate, comments will not be removed. They contain no personal information. Deleting comments that are part of existing disussions damages the integrity of those records.
@Boruvkov: Also, "acting as a correspondence" qualifies as an alias account. You may post once more as a surrogate without repercussions. After that, any posts, edits, or action "on behalf of duion" will result in your ban as well. Make that last post count. Get all the information in that you need. It's not going to be allowed after that. You have not posted anything offensive or insulting on duions behalf. I appreciate that. You are responsible for your own account even when acting on other's behalf, so use judgment when relaying that last correspondence from duion. You will be accountable if you relay his incivility as well.

we deleted your account. If you liscense something as CC0 that is whats called an irrevocable license, as such your SOL if you dont want people to use it in the future.
