Over the last 3 1/2 years we have about 5 or 6 users request to be deleted. We have never actually done the deletion. For the most part we just ignore the request and the person starts to come back in time.
However, when the request is made the people are angry about something and proceed to delete their pictures and/even their posts. Which really shouldn't happen. So I would suggest we do something different.
Ban the user to the Suspended usergroup as a permanent ban with a reason of User requested deletion. This way they are still in the system but they can't delete their stuf or cause other problems.When they want to come back, they can just request re-instatement.
I just did that with Jeff
