Allow users to delete themselves

This one was requested by Webhost. Personally I can't see the use for this, but a hacker's gotta do what a hacker's gotta do.

Anyway, this one is really simple.

First, create a new template named "deleteself" with this:

<center>Are you sure you want to delete your user account from this message board?<br>
All of your current posts will be set to "Guest".
<b>This is not revertible!</b>

<form action="member2.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="killme">
<input type="submit" value="    Yes    " class="bginput">
</form></center>

Now open the attached text file, and add the code from it to member2.php right after this code:

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("subscribe")."\");");
}

That's it. Now people can go to member2.php?s=&action=deleteme, and if they click Yes there their profile (and the rest of the data associated with that user) will be deleted.

I put in a nice 'done' message, I'll post a screen shot in a minute.

Actually that's pretty frickin swift Chen! I get at least 4 or 5 "delete me" messages a week. Thanks man, going to install it now.

I think I may add a mod that either allows them to prune all of their posts at the same time or set the username of those posts to "Unregistered."

Sweet, thanks! Will save me some time.. I have it setting all the posts/threads to Unregistered instead of their username since that seems a little more like deletion.

If you have my Karma, add in:

$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM karma WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] or whoadded=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
