Hey,

I'm just curious, is this new forum software GDPR compliant? Are there any docs regarding personal data processing? What if the users decide to exercise their right to be forgotten as per Art. 17 GDPR. Is it easy to deal with such requests?

yes and no

yes, forum moderator can delete user posts/accounts.

no, forum moderators cannot prevent people saving public (or private) user posts/messages and then publishing those.

This is a fundamental aspect of dealing with publicly released data of any type or any platform. EpochTalk is subject to the exact same laws as any other platform in this regard: the laws of reality.

GDPR is not magic, if someone saves something you put online, you're relying on their goodwill not to re-publish that later if you reconsider it as a mistake. Best outcome is achieved by thinking very carefully before you put it online, because statutory legislation cannot protect you if someone re-publishing something attributed to you is sufficiently motivated to keeping that data publicly available.

If you do something interesting enough online, good or bad, it will last a long long time. And there's nothing anyone can do about it, it is equal measures of arrogance and ignorance to believe such a thing to be possible.
