Can't delete account? (self.support)

What's the point of having a delete account feature if you can log back into it immediately?

Even though they are strictly local the nicks are still saved on other instances.. And that's what's going to take time If he's right. Down vote me all you want but that is my logic. Would be great to hear from some of the devs on how this actually work.

The nickname might be saved elsewhere, but once the local account is deleted you shouldn't be able to log back in.
