I'm created a form where a user can add or remove other users from a group. 
Because the number of available users is unknown beforehand, I needed to 
create a checkbox form where the number of elements is dynamic. However, I 
couldn't figure out how to do it so I just used an html form and some 
<input type="checkbox">. I then processed the result in my view. I do not 
have any form defined in forms.py.

 I presume this is poor django practice but I'd like to know more details 
on why. Obviously I'm not getting the built-in form validation but with 
checkboxes it doesn't seem very necessary. Anything else?

My view can be seen here:

The template code is pretty basic such as:

{% for myuser in members %}
    {{ myuser.username }}
    <input type="checkbox" value="{{ myuser.username }}" name="delete_me"/>
    <br>
{% endfor %}
