A couple of days ago, I got a private message from one of the members on my forum asking me to delete their account. Since it's written in our rules that we do not delete accounts, I didn't take any action.

The member in question came back to the forum and continued to post as normal so I thought it was forgotten. However, when I visited today I discovered they had deleted a lot of their posts and a lot of the topics no longer make any sense since they have gaps where that member had posted.

I didn't realise the option for members to delete their own posts was enabled (probably through a fault of my own ) but I have now disabled that feature.

How would you deal with the situation? Should I just delete the topics that now make no sense? Should I say anything to that member?

Advice is appreciated.

i would just let it go. if someone on your site ask, explain. those topics will eventually fade away....normally

Just letting it go would be best. Most topics won't stay active for long and probably won't be seen again.
