Update: The answer to my question wasn’t certain, but the conclusion I came to is that there’s no option to delete my account for this Japanese website.

I have absolutely no clue where else to ask this. All the places I’ve thought of, I feel that people would get mad for being off topic.

First off, I can’t read Japanese. Some months ago I created an account on a Japanese website called 5Channel (be.5ch.net) because I was trying to help share an archival project for the Nintendo 3DS SpotPass service, which was shutting down at the time. I used Yandex translator to screenshot the web pages and navigate and understand the site and how to create an account. After making an account, I never ended up figuring out how to actually use the website.

So now, it’s been a few months, and all I want to do is delete the account which I no longer need. I’ve been using Yandex again to try to find a settings page for my account where I can delete it, but I simply cannot find the option anywhere. I know with some sites, you need to contact the site owners through email to delete your account, which is normally mentioned in the websites policy agreement. But no matter where I look, I simply can’t find any information on how to find this policy. Does anyone have any advice and/or knows a better place to ask for help with this? Thanks.

    last I checked, FF doesn’t have support for full-page translation of Japanese. It’s basically the only reason I still use Chrome sometimes.

      I think they support it now in Firefox, but didn’t used to; they just don’t currently support it with Japanese as far as I know. I’m sure I was looking at a Chinese or French website some months ago and it worked with Firefox’s built-in page translator.
