Wow! No Delete Member Option

Well this was something I did not check before deciding to use Vanilla as my forum software. You can't delete members? Holy crap, that has to be one of the most important admin functions in any membership environment. I really liked this forums layout but not being able to delete members changes my entire opinion on Vanilla. I will keep it as a testing web site instead of using it for my real web sites forum.

I think this has been done to death before, but if you ban a member does that not achieve what you want? Actually deleting a member's account will leave a hole in Discussions they've participated in, which isn't desirable is it? Holy crap, I'm happy with the way it is.

If need be, you can just delete the user from the database for the time being.

Pretty sure that functionality is coming. Patience. :)

well there is no such a thing as right or wrong and what should and shouldn't that is up to site manager ( owner ) so having a simple delete button is not a big deal, I like vanilla a lot but it seem forcing what some people think is good ignoring many who would like to have more options and control ...

Yes, deleting users is on the task list.
