Is it possible to disable account self-deletion?

Support

According to an earlier post:

Discourse allows users to self-delete their account when they have <X posts. Our issue is that we have payment functionality tied to forum account IDs and the Patreon plugin’s email linking, and we have users abusing the self-deletion functionality in order to redeem their paid functionality multiple times.

Can we disable account self-deletion, or alternately output a webhook when a user self-deletes their account so their data can be purged from our purchase processing service?

This seems to be for admins being able to delete accounts, not a user deleting their own ‘new’ account. :confused:

This is the second request I’ve seen for this, and I think it makes sense anyways so I’ll be the third. Can we schedule a setting here @eviltrout? For new user auto-deletion thresholds, I think there are two variables: account age in days and number of posts.

@riking can you add this one to your list too? Should be fairly straightforward.

The new setting

delete_user_self_max_post_count

The maximum number of posts a user can have while allowing self-service account deletion. Set to -1 to disable self-service account deletion.
