Hi,
Please include a standard feature for the user to delete his forum account. Also, changing the username becomes impossible after a certain number of messages were posted, as far as I know.
This, combined, makes it impossible for the user to not leave digital traces. In many countries, it is legally granted to people to request the erasure of their personal data. For example, here is EU regulation.
This feature already exists. Look under user preferences at the bottom of the page.
However, you can only delete your account when it is new. See the relevant site settings to adjust those thresholds.
None of the regulations require deletion or anonymization to be self-service, so the self service options are locked out after they would become disruptive to the community.
You can ask the forum administrators to delete your account, but they may respond by anonymizing it instead.
Thanks for the replies.
From your words I can understand that the mechanism of Discourse is such that it is impossible to delete users’ accounts without breaking the whole thing.
In addition, it’s not possible to change the username.
That’s just not right. Users are not even warned about this when they sign up.
No, that’s not correct.
This is also not correct.
用户一直在寻找“删除账户”按钮，但徒劳无功。
如果用户想删除账户，他会一直寻找“删除账户”选项，却不知道“帖子阈值”的潜在条件是什么。
我们可以向那些发帖次数超过阈值限制的用户显示一个“删除我的账户”按钮，即使它是一个灰色按钮，显示“不可点击”吗？或者也许提供一个小的悬停解释，告知用户“要求”？
即使没有悬停帮助/信息，这个“无法删除账户”按钮也会非常有帮助，并为用户节省查找该按钮的时间。
不是一个好的解决方案。这意味着我们向绝大多数用户显示了无用且负面的伪按钮/信息。
我们需要一个简单的按钮，可以引导至一个简单的文档，说明正在发生什么，并且应该有一个简单的复选框要求删除——该请求应仅发送给管理员。
无论如何，“缺少任何按钮”会使按钮的很多用户感到困惑，并迫使用户在所有菜单和选项下不断寻找此类按钮。
我认为最好的方法是在该部分创建一个按钮，例如“请求删除帐户”，单击此按钮将打开一个 PM（收件人是管理员）的撰写器，其中包含一些占位符（标题和文本区域）。这样，用户可以轻松发送帐户删除或匿名化请求，管理员也可以在删除或匿名化帐户之前进行审查。
当 canDeleteAccount 为 false 时（因此默认的“删除我的帐户”不会出现），或者将其设置为信任级别限制，并且可以使用帐户页面上的 user-preferences-account 插件出口，此时此按钮将出现。但更好的位置是在页面底部。就像默认按钮出现的位置一样。
如果我有一些时间，也许我会为此创建一个主题组件。 
您好 @Bathinda，
这是主题组件
@Don
非常感谢。这完全/100%解决了我的问题。
