Topic: Question

Does punBB allow (either directly or through a mod) members to 'withdraw' their membership? ie delete themselves from the user list?

Have you ever visited the textpattern forum?

Re: Question

Giving users the ability to delete their own accounts is generally a bad idea.

For example if a user's account is compromised, the person who has stolen the account could delete the account which is quite ireversible other than restoring from backups...

Although I suppose if you had a copy of the account created whenever a user deleted it, it wouldn't be that bad...I don't remember but Posts and Topics created by the user might be deleted too when a user is removed.

I enjoy pie :)
