PM the admins and request them to remove the account or break the EK rules with the account you want to delete.

You can't delete accounts like that

Just don't use it. That's the only option.

Actually admins can delete accounts. I dont remember the exact commands in the admin control panel for vbulletin but it is there.
Besides, the account can easily be deleted from the database. Its only a couple of SQL statements to do that.

yes yes machang.

But then all the pointers has to be deleted, and the index has to be restructured, and all the threads created by that member will also gets deleted, so all the posts in those threads also gets deleted neda?

that's a huge overhead to the DBMS and even the members don't like to reduce their posts count. That's why GT doesn't delete accounts easily

It's just a policy. not the ability of vBulletin

No it doesnt mess up the database but it does reduce the total number of registered users. Guess admins doesnt want to lose the membership count.

All that is done automatically from vB it self if you delete the account from the admin control panel.

No its not a huge overhead. It has some overhead but that is well within the managable range.
The member is being deleted. Ofcause HIS post count is going to go. It wont effect other member's post counts.

It's just a policy. not the ability of vBulletin

I suppose the fact that when you do delete member accounts , the reduction of the total number of registered users and the total post count in forum doesnt have anything to do with it ?

Posts will be deleted but not the member's post count. The post count is stored separately. To get the correct post count after deleting posts you have to run the statistics update commands in the admin panel. If that is not done, the post counts will not go down.
