Jeff, I've checked your profile, and double checked.  There are no restrictions.  SleePy set up a clone account with the exact same membergroups, and he was able to remove his account.  I just don't know what else to tell you.

I can confirm I have access to that option in my profile, as an SMF Friend.  I'm sure it's set to admin approval though.

Do you have team access?  Looks like some kind of deny option for a membergroup you're access too is overriding the option.

Jeff the link is indeed there.  I even checked with a test user that has the same permissions as you.

Except for that.

Weird...an individual setting perhaps?

I'm off to the states tomorrow anyway, will check when I get back. Thanks for looking into it.

How is that Jeff?

It appeared the post group you where in didn't grant you permission to delete your own account.  This has been fixed.

Sounds quite fair to me.
To-do lists are for deferral. The more things you write down the later they're done... until you have 100s of lists of things you don't do.

Thanks, I didn't see an option to remove my posts but wipe those out too when you remove the account as they are clearly not important.

Please don't. There are some I refer back to.

I was just reading over a complaint from the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) and a report from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and something that stood out to me was the section on Facebooks account deactivation and deletion so wanted to see how SMF was handling this as Facebook is in contravention of Canada's privacy law PIPEDA.

So was curious how SMF was handling this option. Apparently in the case of Facebook "The Commissioner's office have been working with representatives of Facebook on this issue. Facebook have 30 days to show evidence that they are making an effort to comply with the recommendations."

Awesome to see that our gov't is doing something to protect us from FaceBook's privacy issues.

SMF is not a Canadian based business, therefore those issues wouldnt apply unless they apply here.

FaceBook's policies infringe upon Canadians' right to privacy.  This all occurs within Canadian borders.  If they do business across borders, they need to be prepared to deal with the laws of the countries in which they conduct their business.

Meh my account wasn't deleted so I reactivated it at the request of some ex team members, current team members, and even one PM.

That's why it says "SMF Friend" :P

Jeff isn't just a 'friend' of SMF... he's more than that - a lot more.
