DDT and Mods-

It would seem that a user has taken it upon themselves to prevent me from exercising my rights under the TOS to remove my content from this site. It is my content to remove and regardless of other users' sense of ownership of it it is my right to remove it. Bulk quoting of it in an attempt to prevent me from exercising this right is wholly inappropriate and I request that posts quoting my material from the point where it was made known I would be removing it (post dated Aug 12, 2010, 11:18 AM) onwards be removed and it be made clear that such behavior will not be tolerated.

Your understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated.

So, you not only want the right to delete your own content, but to have content removed from other user's posts? That's quite amazing.

When said posts are being done explicitly to prevent me from exercising my rights under the TOS, yes. The posts in question are not part of the original discussions and contain no new content, so therefore are being done specifically to deny me my rights under the TOS and should be removed.

As far as I can tell, you have the right to delete and edit your own posts and your rights end precisely there. I will however add the disclaimer that I'm not an attorney or an expert in copyright issues.



Edited to add:

If this (below) is true, it certainly changes things, in my opinion:

1) The fact that you were acting not just as an individual but in the capacity of the Lab Forum editor for RC.com brings into question whether the content you posted there is truly yours alone.

2) If money was solicited to enable any of the work you did, this further reinforces the position that the work product was not solely owned by you.
