We should have like a delete account action on the bottom of our account page so we can delete accounts we don't need anymore. Which would be considered to me a waste of space.

This has been discussed an uncountable amount of times before. The answer is, for the foreseeable future (which, in this case, is a long, long time), is no. Search the forums for the reasons why.

This has been discussed before, but in summary:
1) Removing an account from the system would mean running through the entire database to remove any links to that account from other accounts. Accounts use an intricate webbing for administration purposes, so BYOND can be reasonably sure of who is whom (so a ban can be carried out if necessary -- it's not used for anything else). 2) If an account is released, someone else could snag it and then impersonate the former person. In general, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. =) |
