I vaguely remember this topic being discussed before, but I can't seem to find it. So, I'll ask again... When someone wants their account removed, this causes the username for all their posts to be displayed as "Deleted user". What is the best way to cancel someone's account but still have the username retained and displayed where relevant? This would include someone doing a search for posts for that username. Thanks, Jeff

In the config file - if you set the option which says " Allow users that are not logged in to choose an unregistered username for their post" to Yes, then the user's name is retained with their posts - otherwise it'll say "Anonymous". It's your choice.
This doesn't help searches. Searches are done on user number, so if you delete the user, all thier posts are assigned to user number 1 - so there's no way to search by username for deleted users. The above is only cosmetic when the posts are displayed.
