Occasionally an account is created and never used: there are no members or transactions associated with it.

Currently such accounts just sit in our database and the volunteer coordinator is frustrated because they clutter up our search results. She requests that these accounts be deleted.

We do not want to delete anything from our database, however, so ideally there should be some way to deactivate these accounts.

One option:

A flag is added to the membership_account table that marks an account as deactvated, and the volunteer coordinator can set this flag for accounts in MESS if and only if there are no members or transactions associated with the account.

All related reports/searches/etc. would be updated to check for this flag so that deactivated accounts would not show up in MESS.

A separate page will have to be created to list deactivated accounts so that the volunteer coordinator will have the ability to activate them if the deactivation was a mistake.

Thoughts?
