My users like being able to delete their accounts.
But, they often regret doing so afterwards, and wish it could be undone.
Hell, sometimes spammers/trolls try to use the delete my account feature to cover their tracks!
I've also had cases where I wanted to identify if a previously self-deleted user has returned or not.
So, I did a bit of modding, and came up with this modification to your product.
Essentially, rather than really removing deleted users from the database, it just puts them into a special usergroup which makes them look like they're deleted, when they really aren't.
They don't show in :
* postbits (with the included template edit which hides their username from non-admins)
* member list (due to group settings)
* profiles (due to their profile giving a 'deleted' error when viewed by non-admins)
To use my modified version instead :

- Install my Fake Account Deletion mod.
- Replace the self_delete_profile.php file in this hack with the slightly modified one attached to this post.
