        Hey, at this point I tried deleting my account, but couldn't find it in the UI. Is it even supported? Anyway, can you give me a hand and ban me instead? Your help is much appreciated!

    Any ideas about how to achieve that? An n-child policy? Forced sterilization? Property size limits? Maybe you'll just be kind and suggest punitive taxes.
