I am already a member, but joined again as a guest member as I wanted to confirm that Wikitree doesn't actually tell you that once you are in you can never get your contributions, or yourself out again....and that the joining set-up is unclear at best or deliberately set-up to be so obtuse that the automatic response, after having your email address confirmed, is to click the big button further down the page, which makes you a volunteer and not a guest (which is what I did the first time round).
This is little short of getting members under false pretences, as, if I had been aware that joining WikiTree. locked me and my contributions in forever, BEFORE checking out how to close my account, I'd never have joined in the first place, not even as a guest.
I don't see why I can't delete my account AND my contributions, given that none of them are shared with any other tree. How is it a problem with a collaberative tree if currently there is no collaberation...and there won't be, because I don't intend to add any further generations or any children other than my own direct line?
