Give people the choice to not have a user on a site they do not use
-
I see NO digitally-based holdbacks, to give people the tools to delete their entire account in one go. We see a lot bigger companies, in order to please their users / their privacy.
WordPress does not seem to think the same of their users, they should – and for that reason, i would present the (old and re-posted many times) idea of total account deletion.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
All you were required to provide to register an account here was an email address that can be replaced at any time.
Any personal information that you voluntarily posted can also be removed at any time.
Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.
