Good question. As of today there is no way to delete a user (neither the admin can or
the user himself).
It may be a problem some laws may require that a user can self-unsubscribe with his
personal info deleted, but what should we do of the files he put for download, news he
submitted, messages in the forum...
Cascading delete is too much i think, it would mean that all his posts and answers by
others to his post would be deleted.
userid set to anonymous could be nice. But what i am thinking right now is to have 2
commands:
1) the disable stuff for the admin (that just put the disable flag)
2) a 'delete' action that deletes his email info, ICQ info, address...
The advantages i see are that a disable user can be reenabled while a deleted one
can't, in the admin panel the deleted user shouldn't exist, like a zombie in the
database.
It would mean adding a 'deleted' flag in the table.
Changing the id to anonymous might be a better idea, actually i like it more :) Plus
it solves the right to privacy as all the posts of the guy would become anonymous.
Keeping only the 'disable' option is acceptable situation if someone needs
cascading-delete it would be very easy for him to do so.
Just some thoughts to discuss about...
