Whether you agree with them locking CE down or not, with how much it's been on everyone's mind lately I feel like the possible consequences of someone closing their account should've been obvious. This stuff about creating a petition or DMing the admin of the site is wild to me, it's like expecting them to unban a user
A ban is because of severe violations to the TOS. Someone closing their account and then changing their mind is allowed in the TOS. So that comparison is severely flawed.

I don't know how to say this without it coming off as a little mean/jumping to conclusions (I deleted a prior post in fact) but I'll just say it's also hard for me to picture people saying some of this stuff if it was a male user. Wanting someone to come back is fine but you're gonna gather people for a
petition
?
Never suggested a petition, but a simple PM from the affected user to the admin makes sense. They may or may not do it, but it is worth a try.
