He didn't want footprints left behind. I kept all of his information, tho, should he change his mind.
No, accounts is okay (technical, not policy-wise), although it messes up rep display; it's posts that are bad to delete. That said, deleting one's account is not a great way to hide anything, because your username still shows up by the posts you made.
Yeah, but I'm not going to delete all the posts just because somebody leaves. Imagine what the threads would look like? Blech.
^Don't suppose Darkening gave a reason you could share as to why he wanted his account deleted? It isn't any of my business but I am curious.
