I've been looking around the site to see how do delete my profile and posts but no luck, emailed supposed DPO person but got a less than satisfactory answer followed by no reply at all.

Posts on these forums are not deleted. That is stated in the Terms and Conditions when you sign up.

it doesn't say so anywhere on signup...
if it did, surely it goes against GDPR?

You would have ticked that your read the terms and conditions when signing up.

announcements/terms-conditions-t3.html

Your profile can be deactivated but it is not deleted and neither are your posts.

The forum doesn't "process personal data" and would therefore be excluded from gdpr.

nope... just created a brand new test account and i was only presented with terms at ucp.php?mode=terms
nothing else

I can see that those T&Cs were written in 2004, GDPR was created for exactly those reasons so people can delete things...
