To maintain the integrity of the CC-BY-SA license of MDN content [1], we need to preserve this account and its links to its contribution activity [2].

So, we can't delete the account. Maybe there's something else we can do to help?

First, you have to. It's the law. 

Second if you can't delete it, please remove email adress, change the username to something like eb2450f96d89d072cd69ceb8f52f0ad641636777775d8e6367e93915d83d70123cb42d4c3000fb473863848fe2ecb694
and remove the ability to log in.

Mika - can you help us confirm that removing email address, changing username, and/or deleting the account upholds our CC-BY-SA obligations?

jonas-gloning - can you provide us with the legal requirement for the account deletion so we can make sure to do so in a way that upholds all the legal requirements?

jonas-gloning, the email address is not publicly disclosed on MDN. We can change the MDN username if you're concerned about the username. Without keeping some username, all changes made by the user to the MDN page will be lost.

Do you need to delete the account because of an account issue (we'll have to change the data model so that the account can be deleted while maintaining the integrity of its changes), or a privacy issue (which we can resolve by changing the username)?

It's a actually a longer story, why I want this account to be deleted, but changing the username, will maybe do it.

Do you have an alternative username you'd like me to use? Something so you can find it later if you ever need to remember it? Or should I just use a random character/number generator?

Please take the first characters from this string:

As long as possible
