This is an anonymous community. As much as we'd like to think we know each other, we dont. We only know what people choose to reveal about themselves. People leave for all sorts of reasons and they do it every day, just like we get new members every day. It shouldn't disrupt the entire communty
But it does disrupt the entire community. I'm not sure if you were here when the rule came in about the 'no more I'm leaving posts' but that came about because there was mass upset about these types of posts. I can't go into all the details but there were members who threatened to leave, did and came back only to do the same thing all over again.

We do make real friendships here, in fact I married someone here from Psych Central! We make real connections here so it is upsetting to see the 'I want to leave posts, delete me!' People just need to contact admin if they want to be deleted, PM friends to let them know. No public post is required.

Pegasus, if you read my entire post and the posts before it you would have seen that that is exactly what I'm saying. "I'm leaving" or "delete my account" posts disrupt the entire community, and that's why they're not allowed. You misread my post. I wasn't arguing against the rule but for it.

Ok, miscommunication! Apologies. I hope my post explains a bit more about this subject.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
