Since you cant delete your account here, and deleting posts manually one by one is a pain, i made a python script to automatically delete all posts that can be deleted, and to edit those which can only be edited (changes subject and message to "x")

I couldnt find any terms of service for this website, so not sure if this is even allowed.

I can't test run your script but I got the idea and I think this script might be helpful for someone.

Yes there are no specific T&C which prevents you from writing the script also it depends on the user who's going to run the script.

I just want to emphasize that it should come with some sort of clear warning before actually executing the script. For example 


Please note all your "xxxx" number of posts will be permanently deleted/edited.
Are you sure to execute the script type "Yes".

Is this even possible? The @OP code basically browses the forum using https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=XXXX.0 while changing the topic ID.
I don't see if there is a way to do this, or if the topic ID might refer to the board.

In general, you will not be able to hide anything because everyone is watching.

Yes it should be possible OP is using the profile posts page to go through each post one by one and on this page Board, Sub Board or Topic is mentioned with each posts and can be checked before deleting the posts.
