It's not something we've done, ever.

For that matter, from a technical standpoint, I'm not entirely sure what is and isn't possible. There are many potential side-effects that may result in deleting user accounts - various linked data, database relationships etc.


As for the legal rights - I believe you're talking about the various Data Protection Acts, which deal with personally identifiable information. AFAIK, the only data I believe we hold that falls into that category would be things you've supplied yourself (and can remove yourself) like D.O.B, real name etc.

I will also point out that we are legally permitted to charge a fee to process DPA style requests. Considering the amount of time it would take for us to deal with a formal DPA request (potentially many hours), that is something we would have to do (we are unpaid volunteers and our free time is valuable).
