As much as I hate to say it, please add a Delete My Account feature for the users/clients under say Account Settings
And then obviously a confirmation like "are you sure" and then make them put in their password
Because otherwise people are using the Contact Form to say "Delete my account", and sure, it PROBABLY IS the account holder, but how do i know? Just because they put down their email, their account email, that does not mean its the account holder
If I knew you had an account on fhscript.com , and i knew your email , I could just fill out the contact form and say "Delete my account" , then put in your email
And then the site owner is suppose to just take my word and delete the account??
So what I do for now is, I take their Submitted IP on the contact form, and search through the database and the users table to see if that IP has ever logged in
If it has, I look at the username and delete that username
In this scenario, they do not even say what username to delete. It's like im suppose to just know? That doesnt make any sense
So you need to go ahead and give the users the ability to delete it themselves
Literally thats all i get. That is not enough. Yes I still delete the accounts, because nobody on my site is faking it and the chances are low, but still that shouldnt matter.
They need their own Delete Account option, which I hate to suggest becuse who wants to lose users, but if they are making me do it anyway then let them do it themselves
I'm not a programmer, but I still kind of feel like, it shouldnt be too hard to put into the upcoming release, that I was told was 2 months away. So don't take offense by my ignorance if it sounds that way, but still it just seems like a small thing. But perhaps I don't know the troubles a programmer goes through.
