Ken, I communicated with the German "Bundesbeauftragten für Datenschutz" about our policy, there are so much little mistakes you can make with it!
You can find all laws under:

Mass mail: We use a different newsletter-system, so we have to export the user-data from FUD to it. And every board user should receive it, so if there is no possibility to delete the account, the one will receive the mails also in future, even when the admin delete its account manually.


Well, if you have a mailing list, to where the forum's data is exported then deleting a forum users really won't do a thing won't it?
Just like any newsletter system, I suspect yours has an unsubscribe feature, that would permit users to unsubscribe from the list. Deleting forum users is definately NOT the way to do it. If you do export data from the forum to an external source such as a mail list, let your users know about during registration, so that they know what they are getting into.
