Glen Mazza commented on ROL-906:
--------------------------------
Users presently have the ability to delete their own weblogs, and
administrators can change the passwords of users. Therefore, an admin can
change the user password, log into the blog, and delete the blog that way.
(Admins don't need to do that for deleting/editing individual blog entries of a
user, I believe such blog editing functionality is already in place.)
We don't need to assign the weblog to another user because the blogger (or the
admin, once he changes the password) can grant ADMIN access to the blog to
somebody else, effectively making the blog owned by that other person.
There really isn't much pressing here, but allow the admin to delete a user if
he isn't owner of any blogs, and (perhaps) simplify the blog deletion
process--but making it too easy can have negative consequences (accidental
deletion).

> Allow users to be deleted from system. Since weblog entry records contain a
> link to the user, we'll have to figure out what to do to a user's old posts:
> * Do they get deleted from the system?
> * What if they are in a group blog?
> * Do the posts get reassigned to another user, even though they were not the
> author?
