I've made a site with the same name as this account and have since moved on from this account years ago, but any search for my site results in many results from gamespot, including to my profile and my movietome profile that gamespot automatically created for me, its very annoying and aggravating to check search results for my site and just see a gamespot account I dun even use anymore appear like 3 times on the first page,

so

1) let us delete our accounts

2) Just because we sign up for gamespot doesn't mean we want to sign in for movietome, tv.com, mp3.com and those other sites in the network

Gamespot clearly say that you will be joining up to all theese sites if you join up to game spot. You don't have to use them.

Just e-mail gamespot and ask them to delete it :). Letting people delete their own accounts could cause problems. Younger/older brothers/sisters or "friends" deleting their siblings accounts is the first thing I can think of..and I'm sure there's other problems. Not the best reason...but it's all I can think of right now :). **Added**Not to mention that it's out of Gamespots hand when it comes to Google (and other search engines) if your profile and contributions pop up before your website does on Google it just means more people have clicked on it than your website. (if you didn't already know) Once your website gets more hits then it should "out-rank" and gain priority over the links to your profile and contributions through Gamespot**Added**

Deleting your account won't remove the google search results though. Btw, you just made a new search result by making this topic;)
