I sent a PM in using the contact us page last week but it's gone unanswered so I'll ask here instead, how do I delete my account as I can't see the option in my control panel?

Just don't log in if you no longer need the account.
 
To be honest you should have an option to delete your account and leave any posts you have made renamed as member.

Then we end up with posts where "guest" is referencing a post by "guest" or quoting "guest".

Unless the member has used a name from which they can be identified I don't see the fuss.
 
Almost all forums, the general thing is if you don't want to keep an account, you don't log on.

You'll get other mods/admin who will just ban the user, but account is still there. Mods and Admin have access to email addresses and DOB for those who put their real ones. Not sure if the right to be forgotten applies, as generally speaking, people do not use any easily identifiable data that the public can see.

If OP is getting emails from forum, he can use UserPanel and remove himself
 
I don't think I've seen the option on a vBulletin forum for users to remove their own account.

Deleting an account can't be undone so if a user changed their mind or their account was hacked, the only option is to revert to a backup database.
 
I don't see the fuss.
Whether or not you see the fuss isn't relevant to my question. I asked how to delete my account, I'd already thought about the banning route but didn't think such a drastic step would be necessary. You may also want to check the notifications from your 'contact you' page or was my message just ignored?
 
It is not possible to remove accounts AFAIK. What do you want to happen by the removal of your account?

Removal of access?
Removal of posts?
Cessation of emails being sent to you?

We do not delete accounts it's in your terms and conditions when you signed up :).

Or can be found on every page of this site...

I've seen this type of post so many times

When you want to go, go, don't talk
 
As long as you’ve used a forum name it should be ok, but if you’ve used your real name it can be a problem.

There are two kinds of people in this world my friend, those that don't post, and those that keep posting. lol

No its not. If anyone wants to change a user name then a pm to admin sorts that ;)
 
You think grafter1 is he's real name ? lol

No but he may be using the same name on other forums that and he may not want any associations with this forum.
 
I'm only pulling your leg idrob :)
