> it's about deletion in general because we don't people to do an end run around just by sending an email - that just creates more work for me without solving the problem.

would it solve this problem to give DWG power of deleting user accounts who requested account deletion? So burden of reviewing account deletions would be moved there 

(if DWG would be happy about it - if that would be combined with eliminating self-deletion abuse it could reduce workload on DWG)

(yes I know that it requires extra code that will not write itself)
