If I delete my banned account

When an admin deletes a user account, they login into the ACP, view the user they want to delete, click delete, then all of that users data including custom user data (IP, emails, pw, etc) is deleted. The only thing not deleted is the posts. The only 'existence' that's left in the ACP is the admin log that the user was deleted by an admin.

I'm not sure if Dean uses a plugin for the self requested account deletions (because I don't believe this is native to the XenForo software suite) or if he's programmed that somewhere himself, but if it is a plugin (third party code), then it's possible the plugin creator has made it where only certain data is deleted and it mimics the traditional account deletion.

If it 'mimics' it, it just means the user profile still remains in the ACP as a normal user, just certain data is changed. So the username might've been changed, the profile picture removed, the email removed and the password changed - but on a technical level, this account still exists. Other data like a user's IP addresses would still be attached to the account and so on.

With that being said, I think @Dean has it where it truly deletes the account, as if it was done via the ACP. I could be wrong in assuming this (so I'm tagging him so he can correct me if I'm wrong), but every time he's shown an IP address in the staff chat, it's never included a deleted user's username. Only banned users. So to me this implies that if an account is deleted, it will also delete your associated IP addresses.
