@Anahkiasen @chri5 almost certainly no bueno under GDPR.
Post content being deemed PII at user digression is already a… questionable stance to take with GDPR but probably grey enough to the point where a DPA won’t bother with it while they have bigger fish to fry.
Outright going against user requested data removal tho? Yeah that’s a good way to net you GDPR complaints. If the user requests their info removed, you’re required to oblige unless you have a reason that amounts to something like “we need this to keep the service operational”, which post content almost certainly isn’t.
(ie. You’re not gonna be able to GDPR your IP address or email off of the banlist.)
