What about IkonBoard!?

edit:
Since we're obviously just using a purely hypothetical situation that couldn't possibly relate to anything in reality (because in which case this thread is completely inappropriate), how about this?

The forums change focus by restructuring the forums themselves (i.e., adding forums related to the new content and deleting or locking forums related to old content), changing the moderation team, and overhauling the appearance. However, no user data is actually imported, but is completely untouched in the process. Some users request their accounts be deleted so there's no trace of their existance, which is denied by the administrator for eight clearly defined reasons (and of course, as the administrator pays the bills for the site along with donors, has the final say in how the forum is run, this is acceptable).

Some users do not just accept the fact that the administrator has the final say. Instead of removing all information from their profiles and removing all contact options, they choose to flood the board with junk messages, harassments, threads, or grossly inappropriate content. By doing so, they destroy time from other members of the community who merely are there to seek assistance for their technical problems (say, for example, the site is web design related, so they're trying to get help for their web design problems; of course this is 100% theoretical, right?).

Now, how should the administrator react in the situation? Given in to the metaphorical terrorism (delete accounts or we'll continue), or firmly stick by the already published rules?
