XF 2.1 DROP command denied to user

[Napalm_beach]

I've got an error in my admin CP that indicates the mysql user must have a DROP table command available. Before I activate that I want to make sure this requirement is a legit part of maintaining the forums and not some script kiddie trying to ruin my life.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, it is required.
