[Liam W] (RIP) Member Self Delete 2.0.5 Patch Level 7

[unproperlypropagated]

No, they should not be able to delete posts.

What is the url of the page where they can delete their account?

The last thing i have under general permissions of a group is "Delete own account".
Hope that helps.

Ah sorry, I meant "Delete own account", not post
There is a group permission which you probably didn't set for the user group.

I changed that so they have permission. But Im still getting reports from users who have 0 posts and get no permission error when they click the link.
I dont know if it matters but I do have @Xon 's User Essentials installed, which also has account disabling features.

I keep getting complaints from users that cannot self-delete their account. Permission analysis shows they have permission to self delete. I don't see anything in the criteria to block it. One member mentioned they got a message about their account age blocking deletion.
I found the phrase:

You cannot delete your account. This may because of your account age, the amount of content you have posted or a variety of other reasons. Please contact a board administrator for more information.

Is there a setting somewhere related to account age? The user deletion log shows no self deletions.

Is this addon compatible with @Xon 's User Essentials and its self disable account feature?

At some point this addon stopped actually deleting. The process kicks off and I even get a thread auto created but on the date there's no deletion of the accounts. This is on 2.3.9. No idea when it stopped working but I suspect prior to 2.3.9. @Painbaker you still helping with this one?

I had it setup to disable rather than delete and it did work for a while.

I truly believe it’s time this functionality becomes part of the XenForo core.

@Chris D:

Considering GDPR (Article 17) requirements, users should have a native, streamlined way to manage their right to erasure. The Grace Period logic from Liam’s add-on is particularly brilliant - it ensures compliance while preventing "rage-quits" and reducing manual admin workload.

Native user self-deletion with a configurable cooling-off period would be a massive win for privacy and community management alike. Any chance we'll see something like this in a future XF update?
