Read it.

Do you mind linking me to the part that says that? I don't really have time to go through it all.

It says "a database of contacts". I am not sure if a Forum counts as this?

The act doesnt go into "bans" but it does go into digital saving of information. Old information (emails, dob etc) should not be kept unless they need to. If its permanent, then its unless.

Also: Think about it; how else is the data saved. In a mysql database "/

The accounts arent really personal details though, if its banned then id think it would be up to each website what to do with the old accounts they dont need.
I agree though they should be deleted so the names can be reused by someone else - i think this should happen to accounts that havent logged in in over a year aswell

Yes in a database, but this database isn't a specific contact database, as far as I am aware (I may be wrong). I just don't see how the permanent ban option is there, it would make more sense if the accounts were deleted straight away :S

Dont be silly. So your saying emails are not contact information.

Email the department as I cba informing you that is how it works (in the UK)

So every time Habbo bans you the account should be deleted and then you can sign up again?

Also vBulletin is developed in Reading as Kier is the main man for it.
