What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Currently, when a user deletes their account they remain following all of the worlds they were following before deletion. This leaves USERNAME-deleted on your list of followers.
It's really just more obnoxious than anything as you cannot force accounts to not follow you, as far as I can tell.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

We would no longer be haunted by deleted accounts on our follower lists. It would also shrink some of the follower counts by a small amount. That can be a positive or a negative, depends on how you feel about half full glasses of water.

What are other uses for this feature request?

Less stuff people have to CSS away.

Probably going to jinx this suggestion, but it sure is cool seeing that no one has voted negatively.

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion, this is accepted! We'll add the ability for the owner of a world to remove followers. Doing so automatically (as well as retroactively) might need some more thought.
