Title:
Delete All Entries/Comments Upon Journal Deletion
Area:
Accounts, Entries
Summary:
Livejournal now features a ( delete all comments and posts ) option when a user chooses to delete their journal from Account Settings. It would be nice to see this option implemented on Dreamwidth.
Description:
On Dreamwidth, when users select to delete a non-community account, they should be given the option to delete all comments and community posts site-wide. Upon selection, the entries and comments are immediately removed from view, but I assume they're not fully removed from the database until the account is purged to prevent abuse in hacking/account theft incidences.
This feature has recently been implemented on Livejournal, and it's beneficial for several reasons.
1) It clears the servers of unneeded data once the journal is purged.
2) For privacy reasons, it gives users another option to effortlessly delete their content without affecting the content of another user, and without having to track down every entry and comment across the entirety of the site.
