magnificent thanks

[Hostboard]

When used does this leave posts made intact (i.e. name, avatar, etc)?

[bada_bing]

Good question what happens to all the posts by that deleted user account?

[ChurchMedia]

The old hack would make all of the posts "guest". ???

Thanks for porting this!!


:)

[ChurchMedia]

I tested it and it leaves the user name and post intact.

[Telegon80]

interesting. i have many members who want to /themselves. :dunno:

@ChurchMedia: what happens if you run Rebuild Post Cache in maintenance?

[Snake]

Thanks!

I've gotta modify this hack a bit to meet specifications.

How can I make it so when they click on delete self, that it waits 180 days before deleting? Then if they login before that 180 days is up, they are met with this "Your acct is inactive, make it active?" Then they are given an option of yes to activate it again.

Any help much appreciated calorie

I had something like this on an old phpbb forum and a member deleted himself and rejoined at least 4 times. In fact, every member who ever deleted themselves ended up coming back again.

Nice idea though ...

[quasan]

thx a lot!

hope this will reduce my administration time ;)

I could do with something like this ... maybe a cooling off period of 24 hours, just in case the user changes their mind ... or at the very least a field where a note can be sent to admin with the reasons for leaving.

[Hostboard]

Maybe make a few ACP options for this.

1. Allow users to delete themselves - Y/N
2. Amount of time before system removes thier ID
0 being immeditate and any other input in actual minutes
3. Email user confirmation email that also invites them back but noting they will have to re-register - Y/N

so no updates? anycoming, i have a few members upset because there is no option. i like the cooling off period idea

REALLY hope this is developed

1- EXIT interview (admin/mod can define questions e.g. why are you leaving? include ability to create field for username they may be complaining about----give that user "BAD" mark each time a user terminates "because of them" only seen by mod/admin)
(option to have their request for termination sent to admin in PM or email)

2- Email user stating they have X days to change their mind before their account is terminated

3- Terminate account after X days, unless admin/mod intervines

[cannabis-world]

A quick note, the confirmation code got sent to the bulk box in yahoo and was blocked by another users spam filter. It would be nice if the confirmation code could be sent more than once, in case of some issue like this.

[tpearl5]

agreed. I get bugged all the time by users that say they didn't know what they were signing up for. ummm? but yeh, I would like to be able to send em a link.

[Martin-TMGRS]

[wrang]

[Mr Chad]

[Mr Chad]

This does not work in combo with Referal Count in postbit (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108558&page=2)

Show referal count in postbit.

anyone?

[workplaybiz]

How would I change this modification to also send a private message to the user with the authorization code and the other info needed to delete their account?

[MissKalunji]

does that work with 3.6?

[The Chief]

Ok, I installed this, but how much time does it take before the person delete's his account to recieve his confirmation email, how can we disable the confirmation email?

Thanks!

[Eagle Creek]

I tested it and it leaves the user name and post intact.

But how?
Cause a post is connected to a member. And if the member doesn't excist anymore, how can you see a post? What will happen when you click the username?

[alluidh]

Use it with 3.6 and all test are OK

[mfarmerhi]

I was unable to get this to work properly with my 3.5.8 board. The feature worked, but the admin controls did not load properly (just blank options in the User Group Profile Options) and now after uninstalling I'm getting database errors.

Ideas about what went wrong or how, besides restoring from a db backup, I can clean the database errors up?

[jdingman]

Great mod! I definitely installed it and it works great :)

[stomph]

Thank you!

[Megatr0n]

This work on version 3.6.8?
