John Wick Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 full user's messages deleting, e-mail unsubscr. and account deleting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrisecc Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I do not agree. Member A participates in a topic X. Many other members react to that post. Now Member A deletes all his posts destroying topic X. IPB is a discussion board first. If you want only a social networking site, form your own Facebook group. In my terms at registration time, I have in bold print "no early deactivations". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphzlaw1 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I could support account removal, but not removing the posts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBTheme Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I could support account removal, but not removing the posts.. Me too. I have had people asked to have their account deleted before, and it gets annoying and time consuming. While I do not want any member to be able to delete their own posts, I do wish there were an optional feature we could turn on/off in the admin cp to allow members to delete their own accounts, with a note that states, "this will not delete any posts, only the membership."

Strike X Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yes I would like to see account deactivation feature. It is not necessary remove all the points, but make account become invisible and invisible posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrisecc Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Invisible posts can make topics seem broken. What about if they were quoted? Remove the quotes too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 There was a "delete my account" mod for 2.3.x (and probably older versions too) , I'd guess someone will make one for 3.0 at some point too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Lane! Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I vote for something to close their account too. At a minimum change themselves to a deactivated list to remove them from the member list and clear all their personal data in their profile. Posts will remain. This would also clear out any subscriptions they may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett B Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 See, I'm against this for one main reason. On most of the boards I've been on, there's one reason for most people requesting their account deleted. They get upset at something that has happened on the board, become all worked up and angry, and in the spur of the moment, request that their account be deleted. Meanwhile, all they need is 48 hours to cool off. That is why when this happens I almost never delete the person's account. They'll decide to delete it out of anger and then 2 days later when they are calmed down and want to continue discussing, everything of theirs is gone.

Amy T Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I deleted one member because he requested I delete his account. I made very sure thats what he wanted and that I advised against it but after a while I gave in and a month later he rejoined. he was angry at a staff member too. When he rejoined him and the staff member made up and he is an active member again. Not as active as he once was as he used to make around 2000 or so posts a month and was very close to the top poster. So I am actually against this idea.

Yaroslav Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 my opinion is to make a simple error that account has been deactivated when you viewing his profile and not remove any posts etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Wers Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I don't agree with anything. Accounts should delete only admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaroslav Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 but my suggestion is to make it with option for active the account back but before he return to be active admin need to confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesmer Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 but my suggestion is to make it with option for active the account back but before he return to be active admin need to confirm it. Then what's the point? To protect drunk members or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Deleting accounts isn't all that time consuming overall, and not a procedure most sites need to deal with very often (even active sites). This is not something we are very likely to spend the time implementing, given the nature of the request and the fact that there'd need to be options and safeguards and so forth in place. Just my .02. There are better things we could be adding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
