You don't. If you no longer wish to participate, simply stop visiting and your account will go dormant.

Why can't an account be deleted?

Deleting an account would mean that the ex-member's posts disappeared, potentially wreaking havoc with the intelligibility of threads where the person has posted.

What would you hope to achieve by having your account "deleted" that would not be accomplished by simply never logging in again?
