When a user first registers he is not active until he verifies himself by answering the email.
Nope not always, there is also an option that the webmaster has tot verify and activate his/hers registration. And this is gonna be my setting.

Have the delete button change him back to unverified.
He has succeeded in 'deleting' himself. He no longer shows up on the member list. And he still exists.
Within the admin preferences you can set the option: not allow registered users delete their own account. And this also is gonna be my setting. Only I, the admin can delete registered accounts. Which in this case, will not solve the change of names after deletion of an account. (Jacob -> Anonymous)
Apart from the admin pref. setting,....you can ask yourself how many users will actually delete their own account.
My question references to all the different admin preference settings.
Regardless what setting: How to keep the original -author- name visible although the person isn't a registered user anymore.
(hm,.the Ackbarr sql solution,....oh please,.....I am a nOOb, this is way upon my programm/sql -skill- knowledge)
Isn't there really any other simplier solution?
