My theory is difficult to test but I want to believe that users unable to delete their accounts isn't from malicious intentions.
For those Phukers who have tried and failed at deleting their account; did you post or comment in disabled subverses?
My theory is that the deletion code can't run properly if you posted in subs that are now disabled.
Have no idea how a coder would fix that problem without reopening all the disabled subs.
I wear a foil hat at all times, but I'm ok with collating publicly available data.
Malicious forces are doing it, might as well reap the benefits.
It's also a good reminder, or eye-opener, for people that the trail of personal info they leave is not harmless.
The solution is to staple your foil hat on so none of that info leaks in the first place.
Treat everything you type into the interwebs as being forever public.
