I don't actually get notified about account deletion requests. --- End quote --- Clearly my attempts at just going away have been foiled by my innate morbid curiosity and lack of self control. ;) Yes. Perhaps you should see about changing something so the forum no longer suggests it can be done by clicking "Actions > Delete this account". |

I have no desire for my posts to be deleted and was not under the impression that would happen. I've already addressed not coming back, that is of course an option but so is closing the account, I'm not sure why that's controversial. I usually close accounts I'm done with. You're free to speculate, though. |

I believe removing an account will also remove all posts associated with it. That's how it works on some forums, at least. (If the account is gone, the posts wouldn't be displayed since the user ID no longer exists; though they would still exist in the database.) So, a fix for this is to just ban the user if he wants to leave. This way his account is no longer accessible but it still exists, along with all posts. (One forum I belong to even has a special thread where, if you post in it, you will be automatically banned. This way users can leave and leave a public reason why if they wish.) |

I see no account deletion request. I should look into deactivating the option. I have been badly bitten before by deleting people's account and posts, and will now only do it under exceptional circumstances. It screws up posting history and their posts then become marked as "Guest" and the forum looks like crap with guest posts everywhere. I see no need to delete an account and keep someones post. It's easy to just forget about it and not log in again. May I ask why you want to leave? You are the 4th highest poster! |
