Yes, this is the part that's my concern.  These displayed avatars are useful in a site scrape.

Honestly, if anyone gets legally charged for excess spam, it probably will be the owner of the site.  I doubt they would go after moderators.  There are a lot of people with moderator rights who have either not used the site in a long time or have otherwise not moderated in a long time.  Statuses such as "Team" are also useful when browsing the site and would probably likewise be lost during the deletion of accounts.  Avatars are useful, too.

If people wish to delete their accounts, though, it is their right to do so.  I just wanted to offer my thoughts.
