Deleting an account

Hi! I have a question; it’s kind of practical and philosophical at the same time. Hope that I am posting in the right forum. I have CB version 1.2 stable.

In the profile page, where a registered user can modify his information, should we give him the right for deleting his account?

1) If so, is there a plug-in to do such a thing that I can program into the page or what would be the best way of doing it?
2) If not, should we give him the possibility of emailing the admin, let’s say in order to have his/her account deleted?
3) Or we just don’t talk about it and rely on what could be said in the Terms of use page.

I’m kind of curious to see how you guys would handle this topic.

Tx for your input.

It's possible to allow a user to delete their own accounts using a plugin, but out of the box CB does not provide this functionality.

Easiest approach without development work would be to have them email you for their account to be deleted.

All 3 options are viable and good options; it's entirely up to you which you prefer to do. ;)

Ranked your options based off how much maintenance they'd require and how much work invested to accomplish them.
  1. No Maintenance; Extensive work.
  2. Some Maintenance; Moderate Work.
  3. No Maintenance; Little Work.
