    This is how it works after this update, after an account deletion request, the content is hidden on the page until manually removed by the administrator. Soon, admin action will be replaced by a cron action when I make sure everything is functioning correctly. Actually, you’re right about the email confirmation. It seems that some notification/email stating that the account will be permanently deleted in x hours, along with a clear message upon login, should be sufficient.
