| PlainName:
--- Quote ---SMF will keep the posts, but display "Guest" as the user name. That's good it keeps stuff, but also very annoying. --- End quote --- When I needed to leave a forum, I just changed my username to 'Gone' and left it. Perhaps when you get an account deletion request, instead of letting SMF make it a guest, you change the name to something appropriate and then change the password so the user really has left. The advantages are that the name shown can be meaningful ("Ex-NiceGuy" for example), and the account is easily resurrectable (by you) if the user changes his mind (and gives you a good reason). |
| Kjelt:
In the forum I am a co-admin we also have the same software and same policy. Simply deleting an account indeed messes with the post history and database and makes (part of) the forum unreadable. So our rules there are that we strip the account of any privacy sensitive info, replace the username with a name like "Resigned User #" where # is an enum. |
