Another issue I have with PM's Why are the PM's from deleted members not deleted?
When a user is deleted all his PM's should, in my opinion, be deleted too. Who do we delete? Spammers. But their Spam remain. Not good! I tend to agree. I have never deleted a member since upgrading to the 7.x series. So I had to look, there are two methods to delete. One is selecting from a list of members and check the action list at the bottom. Which does not give any options. The second method is expand the details on one member at a time, which is what I tried. You are then given options to delete the posts. Which I did. But the PM's remain from the user. I then tried the rebuild option to "Prune Orphaned Private Topics". Still no luck All that happened is the PM shows from anonymous now. But of course the caveat is, another member may have a post or PM from the deleted member that they wish to preserve.

As a user of a forum, should i have an ongoing conversation with someone and, for whatever reason, their account gets deleted, I'd be extremely pissed to see my PT's pruned and the conversation log with them removed just because they where deleted...

that makes no sense... it is not like admins are going to delete the nice people you want to exchange info with... admins delete spammers and solicitors... and they delete people because they post things admins do not want on the site...
Maybe you need more spammers here to start noticing what needs to be done...

A lot of admins purge user accounts at user request, so it does make perfect sense at several communities that I belong to...
And we do get spammers here, they just usually get nuked
