Note the /404 page.
This is correct behavior. If you are proposing a different behavior, go ahead and propose it.
I’d have expected to get sent to the default site page, with a confirmation flash showing deletion was successful.

Yes, I guess it could be more graceful.
I wasn’t surprised or confused by the 404.
If I’m on a page and I delete the page getting a 404 makes sense to me.
But some kind of “success warning” thing could work too.

The average user would think it was an error if there wasn’t some sort of success your account has been deleted message.

It is extraordinarily rare for a user to self delete their account. Remember this is only allowed if the account is less than a few days old and has no more than one post.

So I just attempted this on my sandbox and then on try.discourse.org, and a modal window appears when you delete your account (with an OK) button, but the page is forcing a refresh/navigate to action that prevents you from being able to read the Modal or click the button…
It seems like there is a bug here, as that Modal should remain visible until the OK button is clicked.

I would propose redirecting the user to /. Maybe they found the content valuable but don’t want to be a member.
