Description
Just an issue with the current way the system processes account deletions "If you delete your account, you can't get it back, and you can't create another account with the same name." I think there's gotta be a better way of doing it rather than to simply take out ones account. There are situations where a user may want to do this but a lot of times users delete their accounts by mistake, or anger/personal issues or when a family member such as a child comes in and presses a bunch of buttons, one being the delete button. Kinda like everything else, word documents, etc. I'd like to see a reverse method or at least a method where I could backup/upload my credentials if this ever happened.
