Title: removing old uploads (2001)
Post by: keysersozeh on July 07, 2009, 12:50:59

I want to remove some old uploads because they contain adress info in the internal mod text. The sensetive info directly turns up when someone googles my name. Can anyone help me out?

Quote

Modules will not be deleted if:

    * Their composer has released them in the past but now changes his mind about them, for whatever reason. It is impossible to "unspread" what has been placed into the public domain. It is also a very bad idea to try and revise history.

    * Their composer was the person who uploaded the file to The Mod Archive.

    * Their composer is dissatisfied that instrument texts contained within the module are displaying information they no longer wish to share. We will only assist in this matter if their composer is put at immediate personal risk by the instrument texts contained within the module. While we are in no way obliged to comply with such a request according to our upload agreement, module texts can be hidden from search engines and public view if the verified composer presents sufficient reason (i.e risk of personal injury) to warrant such modification to the database.

I can hide the texts if you want, but the policy on removal stands.

Only one contained an address/name, so that one has had it's text hidden.

I don't see any reason to hide the details of Coma.
