You can't get better than that  :clap:


I don't see what the big deal is, if you don't log in ever again eventually the account dies anyway,
assuming the admin doesn't prune off all the old growth after a period of inactivity

If there's posts that are causing grief, the poster should just delete them

You sign up to a forum, you agree to the fair use terms and conditions, you get accepted, it's FREE, no one is key logging you,
what's the problem?

It's an electronics forum not a nutjob troll infested politics, religion, or UFO spotters hangout. 

Please Consider  :-+

Come on, have a giggle, you know you want to   ;D ;D

You can effectively ban yourself by changing your password to some 30 digit long random thing and then not writing it down.

You (ideally) also want/need to do something about the email address, to avoid use of the forgotten my password, retrieve it or sort it out via my existing email address.

Quote comes from the forums, forgotten my password screen(s).

--- Quote ---If you've forgotten your login details, don't worry, they can be retrieved. To start this process please enter your username or email address below.

Although 256 is a bit excessive, I think just 255 characters would do the job.  :-DD

Sorry, I like neat squares of two.
