It's really insidious that if you delete your account before you delete your posts and comments, your contributions remain visible, with the added insult that there's no way to remove them.
Yeah that sucks, but you have to delete your account first though. Still, it's scary to think that's it's just all out there, buried, waiting for someone to dig it up. Still, the fact there's no way to mass delete your own posts is kind of disturbing.
The best you could arguably do after you delete your account on Ruqqus is that if you gave Ruqqus your email, you could maybe contact them to reinstate your account to delete posts or ask them to delete posts? I don't know if the built-in DMCA system is the best choice either.
But no matter what, it seems like once you delete your account, there's no going back and deleting your posts. I don't personally care as long as any information linking back to me is deleted. I deleted the posts I knew that linked back to me. So anyone that actually remembers what I posted is now only in memory at best.
