Ask HN: Does HN allow account deletions (under GDPR or otherwise)?

With the GDPR here, the 'right to be forgotten', and the repeated FB privacy flare-ups: will HN ever allow comment and account deletions?

I really hope HN archives don't turn into a wasteland of [deleted] tags like reddit.

When HN deletes a user manually, how does it handle deleting comments with replies? Does it just mark the user as [deleted] and leave the content?
