I think I recall a discussion about this a while back but I was just wondering is banned characters or accounts are still not being deleted? Its a real shame to have so many usernames and IGNs taken by banned hackers and would be lovely if the characters were to be deleted a couple of weeks after they were banned? (So you give them the chance to appeal and everything) Just a thought, lemme know what you guys think <3
Originally I was for the idea of doing just that as I see your point, Aly. However, upon discussing it with Matt, he persuaded me otherwise and his message summarizes it perfectly in my opinion (quote reposted from a Skype chat with Matt's permission):
The general idea is nice and i get it. But just answer this: what will happen if someone is proved to be innocent after his character is deleted?
