Where it gets tricky is where someone posts a question - it's then the first post in a thread - and deleting that post deletes all the good answers too!
If necessary absolutely I delete the lot, but have to do it thread by thread where they've started a thread, otherwise the database is full of orphan posts, which can cause issues.
I think this thread is useful as it tells people the details on deleting an account - if they read it all.
Mainly, contact me to delete an account, and let's work out why and if it really matters if their posts are left or not. I can do whatever is needed, just don't want to make a mess of things, and get it right.
Knowing why they want to close the account is important too - did we screw up, is there an issue with another user and they just want out or? Perhaps we can solve the issue to help the forum and other people in the future.
