I have never used any other site that did not allow one to delete their account and all of their posts.
Contacting IB seems to be absolutely nothing.
Even being permanently banned doesn't seem to delete the account. Posts are still there, with the word "Suspended" under the username. AFAIK this would prevent the person from ever editing or deleting any posts, so the account becomes permanent at the time of the lifetime ban.
