I'm not talking about starting a new account from scratch. Deleting an account does not destroy it. If you delete your account, you can restore it to exactly the way it was before. No lost levels or items, no starting over from scratch with opening cutscenes. SE WANTS you to come back to the game, so they've made it VERY easy to change your mind if you decide to quit.

The point about trolling from alts is a good one, though. SE should definitely make it an option to blacklist a player's entire account, not just the specific name. Even in the worst case, though, you'd have to blacklist an individual at most eight times under the current system (presuming that they don't own multiple accounts). If deleted accounts were easy to remove from your target's blist, it would never end until your harasser became bored, or the GMs finally dealt with it.

And, to be honest, deleted accounts really aren't the main problem here. As someone who's only ever blisted RMT, I'd say that less than ten percent of those accounts wind up Deleted, rather than banned. Cleaning up deleted accounts isn't a big deal. Cleaning up banned accounts, though, is currently quite aggravating.
