Yes. Go to your profile page (/member/your-username) and click Edit profile. You can update your phone number, Discord handle, and area of interest at any time. Your username and email cannot be changed after registration.

Go to your profile, scroll to the bottom, and click Delete account. You'll see two options:

• Leave quietly — your articles, projects, and comments stay on the platform attributed to your username, but your email, phone, and Discord are erased immediately. Your username is permanently reserved so attribution stays intact.
• Delete everything — delete your own content first (articles, projects, comments), then return to this page to close the account. We don't auto-delete your work; you stay in control of what gets removed.

Both options happen instantly — no waiting, no emailing anyone.

Choosing either deletion path immediately erases your email, phone, and Discord from our database. If you need help or have a specific data request, email admin@ictroo.com and we'll respond within 30 days.

Yes, as long as the project has no accepted team members or sponsors. If people have already joined, you need to transfer ownership to one of them first.

To protect collaborators who have invested time in the project. Deleting a project without notice would erase their contribution history. Transferring ownership keeps the project alive under new leadership. This rule is also in our Terms of Use.

Projects with accepted members cannot be deleted (see above) — you must transfer them before your account is closed. Projects with no collaborators will remain on the platform attributed to your username after a Leave quietly deletion, or can be deleted by you manually before a Delete everything deletion.

Yes. On any article you authored, use the Delete button on the manage page. For comments, a delete button appears next to your own comments when you're logged in.

Your username and public content (articles, projects, comments) are visible to everyone. Your email is only visible to you when logged in. Phone and Discord are visible to logged-in members in a partially masked format.
