Delete old accounts

[betiko]

I like duka's idea. For all those players that have just been around for less than 25 -50 games... Just give them a serial number. Actually give us all a serial number so we can change our usernames! :p

I think people should be able to change username and have some place on the wall where you see all the akas...

And i don t like don s idea. Let s say i retire for 2-3 years, i d be really pissed to start from scratch and probably wouldn t bother.

betiko, what if you retire for 2-3 years, come back, and see that your name has been taken by someone else ? ^^

Only accounts without games/posts can be deleted...

If accounts with games/posts are deleted then there is a need to change the way the DB is designed(and brake few rules of modern database design). Anyway if deletion of accounts with games/posts does happen there will be reduction of game speed(braking of rules does come with price).

Alternatively some feature as deactivate account(account will still be here but without avatar/sig/additional info etc) can be made but on owners request.

i personally would love if all my old accounts could be deleted... from what blake has said and from past discussions, it is just not THAT simple.. if it were, i believe we would see a cleaning/scrubbing of the user database on a regular basis...-Jésus noir
