I don't like this idea, all for a button to request account closure and deletion of personal info from database, then e-mail verification and finally an admin option to follow through on the request.

Out of interest, regarding German law, if a user requests all their personal information be deleted from the database, does this mean any post where they may have provided personal details?  Any post where other users may have quoted or posted personal details of that member?  Changing the username of the closed account if it contains their real name?  And what constitutes personal details?  If member A was requesting deletion, and there was a post where member B said to Member C  something like "Great to see you at Member A's party last week" would that have to be deleted?  If so it would be a right nightmare.
