If not, can I make a request to the site admins to remove them? I'm concerned about privacy and want to keep as much information as possible about me private.

I know they aren't removed as I deleted my old account and the posts are still there. You could do through and delete all your comments on your projects and ‘clear’ everything on the forum using the edit feature, but there's noting you can do for comments on other people's projects or studios. Maybe contact the scratch team, they could probably do something.

No, but clicking the author's link on a comment will lead to a 404 page.

I'm pretty sure that there's am option to delete your comments along with your account when you're deleting it.

Maybe you could ask the Scratch team via contact us to remove all your comments if deleting your account doesn't work.

No. I guess you could contact the ST and ask for your comments to be removed, but depending on how many comments you've left, the task could be impossible.

Unfortunately, no. When an account gets deleted such as ban or just gets deleted, the comments will still be visible unless someone deletes it. Projects will also stay shared unless the site takes it down.
You can request to them if you really feel concerned about privacy.
Hope this helped!

Eh… It should be just a simple SQL query if things were done well in the backend.
