From a technical standpoint, seems like a simple-ish SQL script could take care of anything anyone cares about (change username in a non-sunglasses way, change all posts to something like "this user has elected to pseudo-delete his/her account.") But I appreciate being able to still see usernames and posts when a user is banned.

It sucks when someone deletes or edits a post, because then the conversation might stop making sense forever. So maybe the SQL could just change their name (and I guess references to the username if the user was Quoted) to a generic "[deleted]" username, so that it's indistinguishable from other deleted users, nice and anonymous. And leave the actual posts alone. As for PMs, that feels a lot like email, and you can't delete an email that someone else has already received. But I've PM'd my address to lots of you guys, including a3quit4s, and I guess it would be nice if the theoretical future Hackerman didn't have access to that. Especially if Hackerman is located near me and likes Game Boy games. ]]> Delete account http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=188973 2019-10-17T17:24:42 -05.00 a3quit4s 36 Delete account http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=188973 2019-10-17T09:57:21 -05.00 a3quit4s 36 Originally posted by: CaLan87

I wonder what could have happened for him to all the sudden want to delete? He was a pretty active guy and just up and left? Kinda weird. What would be a reason for someone to want to completely delete? Just kind of wondering since I cant come up with a reason id want to.


Mayve his boss joined the forum and he's been posting on company time. OOOOH. ]]> Delete account http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=188973 2019-10-17T09:20:31 -05.00 a3quit4s 36 Originally posted by: CaLan87

Divorce and an online history of your loving dedication to video gaming?  IDK.

So much hostility for such a simple thread. Pins and needles up in this bitch. I don't think there's anything hostile in here. Immediately dismissive? Sure. Hostile? Nahhhh

In that case a "band-aid" fix could be the user (OP in this case) getting a name change and then perma-ban. If that's enough to put a person at ease I see no issue with it (here on NA anyway).
 

The fact Jeff ignored my PM's about this speaks volumes
 
It really doesn't.  He ignores everyone's pm's about everything. 

  hahaha fair point.
