Profile deletion disabled on this site?

Internet forum accounts are not in most cases and at least they don't require that. Therefore, legal standard regarding deletion of accounts may very well be different in these two cases.

They still do collect some information that is considered private such as IP address and e-mail address. A straight account deletion while leaving posts intact would fix that issue (all account-specific info would be removed).

It would - that's correct, but the question here, I think, is a forum (its owner) required to delete that information by request of an account holder?

My question is why wouldn't a site delete it? Unless they are intentionally trying to be difficult (which this site is trying to be).

I don't delete posts OR accounts on my forum.

I don't delete posts OR accounts on my forum.

I do, anytime someone requests it. I'm just being an asshole if I don't.
