(Answered-ish) Where should I ask for help deleting an account for a Japanese website?
Update: The answer to my question wasn't certain, but the conclusion I came to is that there's no option to delete my account for this Japanese website.
I have absolutely no clue where else to ask this. All the places I've thought of, I feel that people would get mad for being off topic.
First off, I can't read Japanese. Some months ago I created an account on a Japanese website called 5Channel (be.5ch.net) because I was trying to help share an archival project for the Nintendo 3DS SpotPass service, which was shutting down at the time. I used Yandex translator to screenshot the web pages and navigate and understand the site and how to create an account. After making an account, I never ended up figuring out how to actually use the website.
So now, it's been a few months, and all I want to do is delete the account which I no longer need. I've been using Yandex again to try to find a settings page for my account where I can delete it, but I simply cannot find the option anywhere. I know with some sites, you need to contact the site owners through email to delete your account, which is normally mentioned in the websites policy agreement. But no matter where I look, I simply can't find any information on how to find this policy. Does anyone have any advice and/or knows a better place to ask for help with this? Thanks.
You could try looking for 消去 but I didn't see anything with a google site search. I'm not going to visit the actual site.
What is 消去? DeepL translate says it means "Elimination". I'm not sure what you want me to do with this.
It can mean delete in some contexts.
Oh ok, thanks. Not sure why some people are downvoting me for not knowing Japanese though. I'll try to see if I can find those symbols on the site, but so far the furthest account option I've been able to find is to change the password.
I didn't see it in the search. They may use other terms like 閉める or something, but we have no legal requirement here that I know of to allow for account deletion. No company I worked for did until we wanted to do business where things like GDPR (I think it's called) is a thing.
Thanks. I can't find anything like that. Here's some screenshots of what the profile settings look like. These seem to be the whole sites profile/accounts options. Maybe there's just no option.
