I want to delete the entire website and any information regarding me.

I tried to follow your instructions about deleting the whole website.
I'm the one who created it but surprisingly it doesn't give me the option inside "More Tools" menu to delete my website - why???
I want to close the whole thing and have it removed ASAP - please provide clear instructions how to do it.
Thank you for your answer. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

If you are the CREATOR of the site and...

If you ARE CERTAIN you do not want your site anymore and want it deleted, here is a method to use.

1. If there are members on your site, contact them and let them know your site is going be shut down.
2. After contacting members about shutdown, Ban them. This way they cannot come back onto the site.They will know the reason why they are banned because you told them your were shutting the site down.
3. Once all members are banned. Make your site a private site, if it is not one already, via settings and permissions.
4. Then as a final step, Go to your profile and cancel your membership and log out.


Now you have a site that no one can enter or see. Because no one can enter it, it will eventually be eliminated by Wetpaint. But in the meantime, if anyone goes to the site, they will see that it is a private site, and no one can allow them into it.

CAUTION: Following the steps above, the site cannot ever be accessed again. So make certain your do not want your site before performing this procedure. There is no changing you mind in a couple of days. YOUR SITE WILL BE GONE! 4  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?

It is funny considering I am the creator of SPLATS2 and that work-around was created by me. Crying Dove. Glad to see you have visited SPLATS2 and seen some of the different tips, tricks and work-arounds provided by my wiki.

Keep going back there, because new content is always being added

Wetpaint will not delete your site for you, its best to either give the site to someone who wants it, or following the instructions in CryingDove's post. Do you find this valuable?

Make them an administrator, they will basically have all the same privileges as a Creator. They just have to be more careful, if they promote someone to administrator that person does have the ability to ban them. So if making someone an administrator I would advise them only to make users moderators at the most. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
