The proper way to fix this is to rework ipb_deleted. Currently the code assumes
it is a boolean field which is set to 1 when the username is hidden and 0 when
it is not. It should be a bitfield instead (like rev_deleted), or a separate
column, but reworking it and fixing it in many places (I am not to mention
possible breakage of third-party extensions) may be tedious and difficult to
do. Also, both ways would require a schema change, since ipb_deleted is a
boolean.
