Users have a right to have their accounts deleted if they want.
I do have to say that, from a personal perspective, I appreciate the ability to delete your account elsewhere, but I suppose it would be easy for someone to come on here, scam somebody, and then delete their account.

You can leave the forum without deleting your account. Some of the members that left a while ago still have their accounts here. They just don't use them anymore.
If someone makes an account here to scam someone, that person could just abandon the account and create another one anyway, so I don't know why this would be relevant. The only reason I can think of is if the mods frequently check the IP of accounts, so that they could ban those IPs, although there are ways to get around that too. I guess the only thing that deleting an account really does is free up the username for someone else, although I wouldn't want a username that's been associated with someone else anyway. If you are going to stop using TBT, you can just leave a message somewhere on your profile that you've abandoned your account, and it's not like you are going to care about what other people are saying about you when you will never visit this site again anyway.
Yes.
Straight from the desk of a moderator.
Sorry, pal.
You're just gonna have to log out and never come back.
Permabans? I know some forums don't allow permanent
Yep! I accidentally had an alt and Gandalf permabanned it
You can't really request a ban, exactly. If you have a problem with a user, you can talk to a moderator about it. Punishment is up to the staffs discretion. It wouldn't be wise to come screaming "ban them ban them!". And yeah, perma's can happen.

I think they were asking if a user is able to request a ban on their own account as an alternative to a full deletion.
I asked a mod to ban me once, but we are friends and they know me pretty well and offered to ban me because I was under a great deal of duress and was having personal issues at the time. The ban lasted all of like 3 hours, but it's like a rare thing for mods to actually ban you by request unless you have a really good reason.
I asked that same mod to give me an infraction... and they did. Q-Q ripforever
