Version 3.2.2

I know it might seem kind of petty, but I don't think the current 'removal links' in 3.2.2 are can-spam compliant.
Hard to interpret that law, but it does specify that it needs to be a 1 click thing after the member clicks the 'remove me' link.
Currently, the system asks the user 'are you sure you want to remove your account' after clicking the removal link, which is fine, but then it goes to the page that asks the user why they want to be removed. This is 2 steps.
The form that asks the user why they are removing their account needs to be on the same page that says "are you sure..."

ex: "Are you sure you want to delete your account? If so, please tell us why (optional)"

This task depends upon

Actually users are not required to enter the remove reason, if they just hit remove now button they will be removed, even
they didn't enter a reason. So, you need just add an 'optional' word to that page if you think it is important.

yes, I realize they arent required to enter an reason, but they still need to click 'twice'.
I know it sounds a bit anal, but the after the recent update they made to this law...it states:
"(1) an e-mail recipient cannot be required to pay a fee, provide information other than his or her e-mail address and opt-out preferences, or take any steps other than sending a reply e-mail message or visiting a 'SINGLE' Internet Web page to opt out of receiving future e-mail from a sender"

nobody really knows how to correctly interpret this stupid worthless law, but there are people out there who just look for any reasons to make a complaint.
