Every now and then, I get a user who replies to a forum mailing and asks to be removed from the mailing list. I would imagine that as an administrator, most people would essentially say - if you are a member, then you get the mailings, we send out MAYBE one a month so deal with it and enjoy the forum. But there are some people who would rather just close their account.
Is there a way for users to disable their own account? User could log in, go to edit preferences - click on CLOSE account, receive a confirmation warning, then the account could be closed. I do not like the idea of a link in the e-mail like:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/gforum/gforum.cgi?do%3Dclose_account%3Dusername
because there is too great of an opportunity for that person to start closing other accounts, thus the need to go through the log-in process. I do not want to delete the account, just disable it so I can send out messages to ENABLED users.
