>From my perspective their notices should be removed, too if the account is
deleted.  I just deleted some users and then had to go and delete their
posts separately.  It was okay because there weren't that many posts, but it
could get ugly.

My 2 cents.

I think that's a big "it depends". There are two types of deletions; 
voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary would be initiated by the user, and 
  should allow the user to choose whether or not they want their notices 
kept online or not. Involuntary would allow the administrator to 
determine of the notices should be kept or not. In cases where the 
notices are kept, the account should be left in a state of limbo, or 
removal. In the case where the notices are not kept, it would make sense 
to remove the account.

Just some thoughts. I'm sure there's corner cases abounding in that 
simplification. :)
