"no more posts attached"... How about if the user earned rep from suggested edits, that they'd like to keep?– Sonic the Anonymous HedgehogCommented Oct 30, 2018 at 20:40

1@Sonic I'll let you know if that situation ever actually happens. Even the first case is still very rare. Don't overestimate how many of these actually happen in the wild. We're talking about the 0.01% edge cases here.– animuson StaffModCommented Oct 30, 2018 at 20:42

1Also, is keeping the user code there still compliant with the license, however? What's the legal team's position on that? Finally, when you say "suggest", does this mean that if the user insists or cites the license, the dissociation will be carried out?– Sonic the Anonymous HedgehogCommented Oct 30, 2018 at 20:43

7@Sonic We're not going to get a solid answer out of any legal team on that. I kind of doubt there's much case law on the specifics of how we handle user deletion in regards to the CC license, so any answer would be pure speculation with a "we'd have to see what happens in court." If we explicitly told a user their option is to delete their profile and they insisted, we would delete it for them. That's their request being completed. We're not here to play games with abusive users trying to pull our leg.– animuson StaffModCommented Oct 30, 2018 at 20:49

1@Sonic Think of it this way: we consider a deletion request to be an implied request to be disassociated from all content as well. Every user is deletes their profile requested disassociation too. If our attorney thought this method of disassociation for deleted users was that problematic, he probably would have campaigned to have that process changed long ago. ;)– animuson StaffModCommented Oct 30, 2018 at 20:55

That definitely makes sense.– Sonic the Anonymous HedgehogCommented Oct 30, 2018 at 20:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
