I didn't realize a user could delete themselves.  I have had a couple users do this over the years... it leaves a ghost in the forum.

These is an example here: https://elsaelsa.com/forum/astrology/pluto-in-aquarius-1/

This user deleted their account. This had the affect of changing their name to "Anonymous 9268" as shown. However, the account is unclickable and also inaccessible from the backend.

Is there is a way to toggle off this option? Thanks!

Hi,

You should set [Hard delete] option to let users delete all their data as well:

@sofy thank you. Is there a way to make it so users can't delete their account... I would have to do it for them, on the back end? Or "hide" them, like from a stalker, with a name change?

Thanks again!
