I'm aware of this. Dealing with databases and restraints I know that a simple "delete" would result in inconsistent data. So sone idea comming in my mind are: - block the user (what wouldn't help very much as I'm expecting that the account is already inactive) - delete the content of the userpage without deleting the account itself - create a "deleted user"-account and move all edits to this account to preserve the integrity of the database. This account could be used as a collection for all edits of useraccounts which have been decided to be deleted. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
