Delete Messages Quicker and When Retiring
If I retire from xHamster, my private messages including any private photo's I send all remain for the person I sent them to.
It just says "This user has retired from xHamster and cannot receive or send any messages" - But all messages and photo's still remain in the chat.
If you delete a message it doesn't seem to disappear for the other user, it only disappears for you. At least for the foreseeable future.
My suggestion is to delete messages for both users quicker (preferably instantly)...and either fully delete or at least temporarily blank out all conversation history for the other user when someone decides to deactivate their account. That way, they can come back to it whenever they like and they haven't lost their chats, but if they choose not to..they don't live on with other users forever.
I don't like the fact that other users have my messages and photo's indefinitely and I have no control over deleting them from view.

I like keeping all the messages I send/receive so at theend of a message exchange session, I always copy the messages exchange to an html file. That way *I* have full control over what content I want to keep and no one can just make their messages along with my replies just disappear without MY consent.

--- There is a design feature (the rest of the universe call it a bug) of the site, where when you delete a message in your chat history, it is deleted from YOUR chat history, it is NOT deleted from the recipients chat history. The site management have know of this bug ...sorry FEATURE for about a year, so it is here to stay.

---- Your best option is to contact the site admins via the contact us page https://xhamster.com/info/contact and ask the admins to remove your content. As xhamster is based in Greece, then, if you are in a European union country, then the European Data protection Regulations apply and the admins MUST comply.

---- I think that the best advise (sorry in hindsight) is ... BEFORE deleting your account ... 1) Delete all your content on your profile. 2) Delete all the images you added to the PM Chat image selection tool. 3) Delete your account.
Why doesn't the site do this? I believe that you can 'suspend' your account, so you can resurrect it later .... rather than irradiate my account. Clearly, it is this aspect of managing personal data that needs addressing.
