Account deletion?

(1/5) > >>

suu_no_clover:
Been a while since I had one of these questions...

I noticed a while back some of the users had deleted their accounts, in leaving the forum. Out of curiousity, I wanted to see if I could delete my account as well. (At the time I was considering it, but now I'm on the fence.) I noticed that the option is nowhere in the profile section.
I asked a user who had successfully deleted her account, and she said that it was simply an option in her profile. I checked in the section she said it was in, and still saw nothing.

Why is it that some users can delete their accounts and others can't? Am I just not seeing something in the profiles? o.o;

Arcademan:
Click the profile button on the top of the page (toward the left side)

Once your profile appears, look to the left side of the screen. Under the title ACTIONS there is a 'Delete Account' option.

Click it. It'll prompt you 'Are you sure? Yes or No' Click yes and your account is deleted.

Like I always tell people, unless you're really set on never returning, deleting an account is the last resort. If you plan on leaving and hold some hope of returning or decide to lurk, you're better off keeping it intact. Of course if you delete it, you can always create a new one if you return.

Any questions about this or if there's a reason why you want to leave and feel like talking to a mod or administrator, our doors are open 24/7...at least mine is.

Hmm... that's odd... As far as the account deletion option goes, I don't see the section you're referring to.

^ That's what I see as options on my profile. Nowhere do I see an 'Actions' option.

And as far as talking to an admin about possible reasons for leaving, I'll consider it, but I'm not sure it's something I wish to discuss.

Arcademan:
Looked at your pic...and you're right. It's not on that particular screen. On mine it's the third option down on the top left side. I'm also still using the original forum 'skin' so I don't know what to say.

Maybe someone took it off to prevent you from deleting yourself. I'd take that as a sign from above :wink:

Takeru:
Maybe it has something to do with post count or member title?
