ive got a forum and i allow user to delete their account.and i want the users threads to still be there and the username to be shown, but i wonder one thing.if a user is deleted (basically i just NULL their username and password in the table row but i leave everything else intact) and another user is registering the same username, then people will believe that the new user with the same username has created all the threads the previous user created.or is it routine to not allow new users to pick those usernames who have been deleted?what is best practice regarding deleting users?
delete user best practice?
