The root desire of account deactivation was to prune accounts of individuals who no longer have access to their original sign-up email address. After observing that you can move the account to a new address when the account is deactivated I’ve realized that this wouldn’t provide the effect we were looking for anyways.

Our forum is being used to provide support to our sales agencies. If one of these employees leaves, and goes to a competitor, we want to remove them from the system. Feedback from the agency would be the best way to do this, if I had faith they would tell me.
