Hi @robert,
Just curious as to how this will sit the the pending GDPR regulation...
It seems that the GDPR (de)regulation is already creating a havoc to most site owners/companies.
In MY Country a new business is growing. "GDPR" consultants, using funding from EU. Lawyers mostly.
So this new crap is just a new trick from the Brussels lobbies, in order to re-distrubute money to their "friends", laywers and other firms.
The EU didn't LEARN something from the COOKIES crap, they continue to even more "laws", that for any of us dosn't make any sense.
For example what happens if I ask wpForo to delete all my posts ? Am i entitled to do so ? How this will happen ? Who will do it ? Can i just remove the poster name and keep the data ?
Havoc.
You have a good point, @anonymous20, but it's a legal regulation nonetheless - certainly in the UK with fines for non-compliance/ Trust me, it's a complete NIGHTMARE.

Sure, i understand. And also an extra cost in time and money, that small companies will have a hard time to manage.
@anonymous20 - tell me about it. I'm the CISO and CIO for a financial services firm in the UK, and it's a huge money spinner for these so called "experts". Quite how you can be an "expert" in a regulatory requirement which isn't even live or legally binding yet is beyond me 🙂
Not being a European I am not 100% sure so perhaps someone could enlighten me; do you not also have "competing" data retention laws that would be in conflict with the requirements of GDPR? Where I am one would be in deep @@@ if one deleted content and the cybercrime division came knocking with subpoenas.
Rather than deleting forum content which affects other users too I foresee a pseudo-anonymising tool being developed.
