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...
