Leaving the community will only remove your membership. All your submission and identity details will be stored in the IdeaScale database.


The moment a member leaves the community, the administrator of the community is notified via an email notification.


The member may choose to rejoin the community, however, all of his submissions will now show as 'Submitted by Forgotten Member'. Basically, the member will start as a new member of the community.

The administrator can search for the members who left the community in Member Management by searching all Self Removed. You would not be able to search the member by using their email address.
