Right of erasure requests must be in writing.  Members are requested to make their written request via membership support ticket at membership.vatsim.net.

Since when can accounts be erased completely?

Once created, a CID will always be there in the database. What can be done, however, is to depersonalise this CID as is required by law, by deleting any and all personal infromation that is held about them, names, emails, and more, practically, deleting Joe Blogg's account and making it a collection of numbers, untracable to him.

Membership staff can correct me if Im wrong.

That's new then, because until very recently one could only wait until an account became inactive. Good to know.
