A user can delete the own membership

[Ifrani]

Hiho,

is ist possible to create a hack, that a user can cancel the own membership to a forum ? If a user never want to come back to a site, he can't delete the own membership...

this could be easily abused, if a members account is hacked by someone then they have the ability to remove their access. It could be easily done but I don't think its such a good idea.

[Sinecure]

Yes, I agree PPN, very good point. I could create a lot of problems.

[Scott MacVicar]

I could still whip something up, wouldn't take long.

It could probably be made more secure by sending it to their email, but whats to stop them from changing the email first...

Possibly apply to be deleted then admin has to approve it?

[Sinecure]

Actually that would be a perfect idea. This could also be beneficial if the user wants to start a new username and could simply delete their previous username. That would help in deleting un-active users.

I've already posted a hack to allow users to change their username in the usercp, there is limits for posts and time between changed which can be managed in the admin panel.

I'll do this delete user hack now well i'll start, i'm wondering if 2.2.0 will cause any problems.

[Sinecure]

hmmm, Only thing I know is that 2.2 uses MD5() Password or something. I dont know if that would be a problem. Perhaps we just have to wait and see :D

[Scott MacVicar]

how'd you get a copy of 2.2.0 or is it because its installed on the vbulletin server.

[DarkReaper]

A) He probably has access to it beause its on this server
B) Everyone and their grandma knows that MD5 encryption is in vB 2.2.0 :)
