Hi - I sent 2 PMs to Norton asking for my former accounts to be deleted, as I am no longer a Public Figure and desire to continue as Odarlin1, private individual. I have not gotten any response, nor is there anyway to tract on this site to see they have been sent.

At any rate, I would like to have a PM with Norton.

As for introduction - I live with my husband SCV/SAR Patriot in Carroll County, MD. Prior to serving in the MD GA on the House Judiciary Committee, I was an award-winning Journalist.

Thank you.

As others have said, his PM box likely is stuffed. Also, although as a mod, he helps set and enforce the rules of the house, not sure if he deals with these sorts of issues directly (TexKev might - if there were cause too). I do recollect that deleting past identities and posts is not done as it creates problems with threads, forum archives, etc. What is likely done is that an old account, if permitted to change to a new one, will no longer be usable. This might have automatically been done after he gave you the temp ban for the duplicate account. Usually it's an outright ban, but perhaps because you were straightforward about it and your husband indeed id'ed you in the past, he didn't view it as a purposeful attempt to subvert rules, and went with the admonition.

My two cents/respectful suggestion on a related point, avoid making call out threads. I'm sure many would enjoy your contributions to this community, but we're all guests and the mods have full time jobs (and have been helping here for years). If your posting ban was lifted, it indicates that you're in good standing. Develop a rapport with the membership and the mods over time, and you'll get help/feedback more quickly because people will know you (and your name/alias will be a known one from probably a sea of requests when there's limited time to address even a few of them).

OP, for what its worth. I initially signed up with a username that was to close to my actual name. I changed it by adding a new login. Well, Norton PM'd me politely and asked why I had 2 usernames and I explained why, told him I stopped using the other one and I asked to have the other one deleted and he said he could not delete (at least not back then) so it was set up to be "banned" at the time.

So, yes, my name was immortalized as a few posts then banned.
