Users delete their own membership

[Bryan Ex]

I'm looking at finding a way to allow users to delete their own membership if they so choose to. I had this hacked into my old board and it saved a pile of time and hassles whenever a member was upset and wanted to "quit" the forum. Perhaps a check box with a confirmation screen or something on the user options page that removes their listing from the user table? Anyone have something like that available or know where to find a copy of the script mods?

For month now I´m looking for this one, too.
For security reasons it should be an option which has to be confirmed by a link in an email (similar to the confirmation of the registration process).
If a user decides to end his membership his/her user status should change to "guest" and all posts should remain in the forums.

Anyone out there who could spent some time on that ? Would be really appreciated !

This hack has already been released.

I searched the whole forum for that one and couldn?t find it - where have you seen it ?

there is no official release of a "delete my account" feature anywhere, and i told Bryan Ex that i would release one soon... i'm looking on a final way to do the script secure, and that's it, i will release it in no long.. maybe by the end of the week... as i have other things to deal with.

Hi nexialys,

nexialys, not to make things harder, but could u also make options....like the 2nd post, make it they have to confirm via email, but make it if they want there posts to stay they will be guest, or they can have all there posts deleted...:-/

Jesus, hell no,
just imagine one of my users with ~1000 posts and nearly ~200 started threads would be allowed to delete all his posts?
This single user could smash the whole information which is located in this thread. Remember - vB deletes not only a single post if postings of a particular user are pruned. In case the post is a starter for a whole thread everything becomes deleted - all answers included !

If this option should be selectable by users I would like to have the option for admins to disable the $prune_userposts_in_case_of_self_deletion.

nexialys, do me a favor please - name this function $kamikaze

I believe someone is working on it now and I'd expect them to post to vB.org when ready.
