[Rejected] Deleting our accounts

[Chloe Gallagher]

I know it was talked about here, but my suggestion isn't for staff here to delete accounts, but for the account owners to delete or even just close the account.

 

Why not just let us have that control over our accounts? That way you won't get people intentionally breaking the rules so their accounts get banned (which has happened since the rule was implemented). Give us that control and suddenly those people just delete their accounts and quietly go away, rather than giving the admins here the added headache of deleting posts and banning the person.

 

Something to consider, I mean what harm could come from it?

 

And on a relatively side note, no I'm not leaving and no I'm not requesting that you delete my account.

There is no real reason to. If there is a legit reason such as a legal issue, I don't think the rule would apply.

 

It may also have consequences through vbulletin, I'm not sure how it handles posts on deleted accounts.

While that'd be nice I believe it would fuck up a users past posts, I remember a conversation about this previously.

something to consider: just don't come back.

We will never bother making a functionality where users can delete their own accounts. It would cause numerous issues, and if someone wanted to delete their account so badly... just log out and don't come back if you feel so inclined.
