Account deletion and/or custom user titles

[iceman]

1) To delete your account go to site preferences and click "Delete account" to the bottom-right:
https://www.blu-ray.com/community/se...=deleteaccount

Please note that this action is NON-REVERSIBLE. All personal information will be deleted. System data that can't be deleted will be assigned to webmaster or anonymized.

2) Unfortunately we do not allow custom user titles, since it's then much harder to differ a regular member from a moderator.

So lately I've not been getting on well with the community and have considered deleting my account-----and then find out that in 2014, a forum does not allow a user to delete their own account or to even request an admin do it.

At the least, Blu-ray.com seriously needs to update the user agreements during registration; clearly stating that once you make an account, it can never be deleted. and also add such info to the FAQs.


*comments from other users similar to "just quit posting here" are not appreciated.

I think updating the user agreement is something the admins can easily do(?), but it is quite common on most forums that once an account is made, it cannot be removed. The primary reason for this is that it destroys the functionality of the search feature. All posts made by a forum account are associated with that account to allow users to see who made the post. If an account is deleted then all those post links are lost and as far as the database is concerned they become "guest" posts. This prevents people researching who find a certain post made by a given user interesting from searching for other posts made by that same user. It is no longer possible to sort out different posts made by different accounts, since they are all just "guests".
