Deleting you account

I totally understand, there are these two forums where people were mean to me. I want to delete my account but no feature exists so the best thing to do is dissapear forever and ever. However I do have an image of gaara from naruto holding a sign that says goodbye. Maybe I should log in and make that my avatar. I mean I know if I say I leave they'll say don't! Epecially since one of them I joined a long time ago and just posted an intro. The other one I just said I left in my profile.
Well, it seems to me you are sinking to there level by having a signature that says goodbye just to tick them off and want to delete you, leave the site it doesn't make a difference whether or not you have an account on there or not, seems like someone needs to move on.
If someone wants their account deleted, then I will delete it after finding out the reason why.
There is no reason for the admin NOT to delete the account except for the fact that he/she wants higher stats. If that were the case you can retain the posts but delete the user. Then your member count goes down by one but you still have the posts.

When I'm ready to be done posting on a certain forum, I just leave and don't come back for a while. If I want to be done permanently, I usually do the following:
Turn off PM notifications (if I've had them on)
Delete Signature (if I had one)
Turn off all email notifications from said forum.
I've only ever asked to have my account deleted once. This is why I like SMF so much, because when you never want to go back again, you can just simply delete your account through your profile. I've had to do this with one such forum, because I only went there on account of a post exchange... I didn't plan on being back there, and I was tired of the stupid emails I was getting from them. Finally I just went in and deleted my own account. Haven't heard a thing from them since, and I'm glad.

It's just how I have always been, Someone on my forum wanted his account deleted because he doesnt like leaving trails. Guess I am the same. I would rather have my account deleted, then its over with.
If someone requests theyre account to be deleted, the admin should do it, in my oppinion. The posts will still be there.. Its not like they would just dissappear.

I just asked on another forum where I have over 22k posts that my account be deleted. Admin told me they don't delete accounts. WTF! They just want it to appear that you are still a member when you don't want to appear that way to other members. Under my user name (on this forum) I put self banned and location I put The hell out of here....LOL!
I don't get why admins don't do what their members want when they really don't give a legit reason for not doing so. I suppose they made their board to be what they want and to hell with what anyone else wants. It's a bad way to be but hey wahtever floats their boat I guess.
If someone asked me if they wanted their account deleted then I would ask first to see if the problem can be resolved first and if it can't then I would delete it as it's not worth fighting over tbh.

Sometimes I would want to delete my account because of the awful community and when I am not left with that option to delete, I will be reminded of when I used to go to that site by the admins We miss you emails. I fail to see what's the big deal with just doing that member a favor by deleting the account other than the admin wanting to boost up a member count or just being too lazy to click a couple of links to get the job done. If you have the finger energy to ban and lock threads then you have the energy to delete a member.
I'm comfortable with deleting members if they wish to leave.
Another reason why I would like to have an account deleted is because sometimes admins collect these emails and just mass mail people from a dead forum to go to the new one. This happens A.FREAKING.LOT. It gets on my nerves because all they're going to do is close the new one, keep my email address,and email me again. At some point I want the admin to just let go and stop emailing me with their new forums they will just abandon later on in the future.

Normally if you do that, all of their posts are either named as written by Guest, or their profile just disappears. It looks pretty stupid, and honestly as others have said, what's the point in deleting the account?
Get emails from the board? Add the board's email address to your ignore list.
No I do not.
