Topic: Account deletion?

[Evan_B]

Am I blind, or is this a moderator only function? If so, requesting. If not, explain to me the process please!

I don't think this forum software was ever built with the idea of deleting an account. Otherwise, we'd just be deleting every spambot account instead of banning them and putting them in a hidden view forum where all their junk stuff goes. We've long talked about the age of this forum software and, 25 years ago, the forums that I used and saw back when this type of communication was taking off never had deleted accounts. They usually just banned them. It wasn't a thing with social media like it is now with people wanting to deactivate and delete accounts on various sites. Unless it is an admin thing I can't see, that's the only answer I'm aware of.

But, hey. With the way these forums seem to keep having connection issues and other technical problems over the last few years, it may be that we all have our accounts deleted when the forums crash for good. In which case, problem solved.
