I don't think this is a good idea.
1) People might see it as a way around bans/infractions
2) What happens if someone steals your account info (not likely, but...) and uses it to delete your account?
3) It would delete the posts, which would make others suddenly seem nonsensical.

...Yeah. Not worth the coding it would take to account for all the deleted posts.
Oh yes. Deleted posts.
If the previous posts weren't enough to make the idea not worth it, Imagine the confusion if a person that say, has 1,000+ posts, has their account deleted by a little sibling, or as an April Fools Prank.
Imagine Philip7086's account deleted, and the effect that would have on the community.
