Go to the Account tab > Account Settings > Settings tab > and Deactivate Account at the bottom.

Yes. You can deactivate it by going to account settings. It gives you a time frame to change your mind afterwards, but if you leave it, it will delete it.

log on - top right corner go to 'my account' then to 'account settings' then to 'deactivate account'

Yes you actually can't delete your account only deactivate it.

It's something to do with you opening multiple accounts on one IP address.

I only had it for a week and got fed up with it after a week with all the rubbish posted on it.

All I did was remove everything from my account and then deactivated it.

Never been back since and that was over three years ago!

There are two different delete options available. One allows you the chance to reactivate it, the other deletes it completely. You need to make sure you choose the correct option.
