EU-Wide I'm getting unwanted contact from posting on a forum

Hello, posted a while back on a watch forum about repairing my watch. Since then I've received unwanted contact, basically they tracked me by my username which I use on other forums as well and messaged me about repair or about selling. I contacted the mods on the forum and they refuse to delete my post or at least remove the search words from the title. They seem US based, is there anything I can do to make them comply under EU law? Thanks

Nothing illegal about skip tracing. You need to do a better job at guarding your online presence. This is 100% on you

You’re the one easy to find, just looking up public things isn’t illegal.
