You should be ashamed of yourselves for not making this easy to find and simple.
Most websites are having a certain -file- system in which you can't just delete accounts because then all you're comments, etc. will also be deleted and then I'm talking to myself here.
Just send an e-mail (it looks like they changed to contact page a bit, so I can't find the right adres at the moment) and ask them to delete/'ban' your account.

Looks its one of saigon "Firends"
What dose an attack like that solve? dose it make people want to help you out? Think of your tone next time.
Your account will be deleted in a month or so when CH closes down. What do you care anyways?

Just a follow up on this, I did disabled this fellow's account on June 26. (When he emailed in the request, 2 days after posting this thread which I didn't read).
I set his ideas to private (I don't think he knew how to do that.)
If you guys have privacy concerns about your ideas on CH, one option is to set your ideas to private on CH as you migrate to VenCorps. You can set your ideas to private on CH either before or after migrating. (There is no need to, but I understand why someone might want to.)
And the other trick, if you want to stop emails alerting you to PMs, is to go into preferences...

...and configure your CH account not to send you any emails.
So its quite possible to dial down your CH presence if you choose to do so without being all hey-delete-me about it.

FWIW, I am sick of sites not allowing me to delete my account, also.
I think the underlying motivation is to appear to have more users than they actually have. After all, if 10k people sign up and 9k of them hate the site, there's no way for the press to know that if nobody can delete their accounts.
It's got nothing to do with technological limitations, as comments etc. can easily be linked either to "dummy" accounts or killed and replaced with a placeholder (see LiveJournal).
