How do respond to forum members who request you delete their account?
I've seen an instance where a staff member (on a forum that didn't belong to me) quit the team and demanded the forum owner delete their account. They cited various European data protection acts and laws and said not deleting it would be a violation of such laws/acts. The forum owner ended up deleting the account but changed the name to something generic to retain their content on the forum.
How would you react? Would you do the same above or something different? What about if they demanded you delete their posts, as well?
