Since I am no longer a member of that site, I have requested removal of my advice posts, (about 30 or so from memory, here is an example) and photographs. After sending a request to Minti via their ‘contact us’ page a week ago, I have still had no response. (Not surprising, as I was advised by other former members that they had suffered the same fate).
They still have the articles posted by ‘anonymous author’ which is misleading in itself, as I am not remotely anonymous and those are my original advice posts. They have removed the photographs from the posts as you can see on this article I wrote about honesty and integrity; perhaps they should have read it when they were making those changes.

Open Letter To Minti
Now that I am no longer a member of your site, I am no longer bound by your terms of service.
“BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO EACH OF THE TERMS SET FORTH BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY TERM OR CONDITION SET FORTH BELOW, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THE SERVICES FOR ANY PURPOSE.”
Please treat this email as a formal request for my photographs and advice article posts to be removed from your site. If you have any difficulty working out which ones belong to me, I will be happy to assist you.

Good manners would dictate that it was reasonable to reply by now. Good business practice would dictate that it would have been prudent to respond sooner. Good ethics would dictate that there would be no issue removing work written by other people when they request it. I used to have respect for the concept of this site, however that fresh minti taste has gone stale.
