Allow users to delete own account?
 
Is there no mod available to allow users to delete their own account?

I cannot think of a reason why an administrator would want that option. Just have them request to have their account deleted. Every administrator would want to handle this differently depending on their TOS and privacy policy.

It would not be hard to externalize the command for deleting a user, I personally would never want an external method for doing this. At best, I would give the user the right to disable their account -- however no deletion of data would occur.

Think of all the 404 errors, and other SEO issues this chaos would cause. Personally I don't delete accounts, ever.

I think you portrayed my statement out of context, that being: your reason has merit. Although, the definition of deleted material is still being decided in the courts in many countries and international law.

And how have I taken your statement out of context? You said: "I cannot think of a reason why an administrator would want that option", and I gave you a reason why an Admin would want that option - or better: would have to want that option. I really did not intend any harm or offense?

I probably misinterpreted your meaning. I know your a good guy, so no worries. Sorry if I ruined your day, not my intention either. :)

Ah, no hard feelings there - I know you're one of the good ones, too, and it really takes more to ruin my days :p

We don't delete user accounts, we do have an Inactive user group.

We also have (c) disclaimer so users can't ask for their content to be deleted.
