    If they don't they would open the door to people committing spam or abuse intentionally to receive a suspension as the next best thing. I know I'll do it if they don't let me delete my account.

    They won't let you send messages without finishing verification

    Then I'll email their support and be rude to them until they get fed up. I'm sure I can be nasty enough in some way to get them to suspend me no matter how bad they want me.
