Banned user and privacy

Because?Tags: None

Thanks In Omnibus I appreciate your detailed response.
voyger we too have decided that a direct personal request to delete a user will be considered but we won't use the option for a user to delete themselves.

hope you all don't mind if i share.my view. on the registration form user should agree the privacy once a user register users cannot automatically delete their accounts at less they ask a member of the staff to be delete certainly i will not let a banned user to delete there account,
i agree with In Omnibus

So, if you dont mind me asking, are you not going to let your users automatically delete their accounts with the new GDPR/EU options?

They could delete their account and make a new one five minutes later.
It's bad practice to allow users to delete their accounts.

5.3 was released over a year ago. I am guessing you mean 5.4.3.
Banned users can do what you give them permission to do. If you want to give them the permission to modify their user settings and remove consent (if they live in the EU) and have automatic deletion set up, then they will be deleted after three days. Three days is the default cooling off period.
