Hello Christian,

Currently the best way is for you to view the person's profile on EasyDiscuss

Thank you, but that doesn't answer the question.
This only lists the postings.
The question was how to retrieve a users posts in order to delete all or some of them,, to comply With the New EU regulations.
How can I do this?

Hello Christian,

Currently, we do not have the ability to delete them while you are viewing their profile but we are planning to add a user filter at the back end so that you can filter posts by specific users.

Ok. could you tell me which tables hold the posts, so I can script deletion? Or perhaps send me a script that deletes all posts for spesific user_id and/or a list of postids?
THe New GDPR-regulations demand that this can be done, so - to stay current in Europe this has to be made possible - somehow.

Hello Christian,

You can query it from the following tables

select * from jos_discuss_posts;
select * from jos_discuss_thread;

The user id is identified by the column user_id

I'm sorry, but I don't think that just deleting the posts will suffice.

No dependencies? Deleteing records from those two tables won't leave any orphans or create any other kinds of untidiness?
What about other tables? discussions, comments, badges and what-not?
Three cases:
1) User X demands that all data connected to him must be deleted
2) User Y demands that all data connected to hin regarding a specific category must be deleted
3) We want to remove all traces of a spesific user
Easydiscuss has so much super functions, but lacks a smart cleanup. I expect that this will come in future Versions of Easydiscuss?
(It's no big rush. We are currently setting up a new portal and plan to go live with Easydiscuss in july.)

A P.S. to point out possible consequences for us in failing to comply:
EU has promised to enforce the GDPR regulations, and failing to comply can result in a fine as big as 4-5% of the enterprise's worldwide turnover - which would be a disaster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation)
Have a Nice day

Hello Christian,

I don't have an immediate work around for you currently but we'll add a filter to allow you to filter discussions and replies from users in the next release.

Thanx.
A user filter in Ediscuss/Posts would be a very good start.
Could I ask for a Message when this is in Place?
Have a Nice weekend

Hello Christian,

There is no exact date of the next EasyDiscuss release.
