N n00bsaibot Well-known member Apr 17, 2017 #3 Easiest solution... change the username first then delete account. Unless you want all deleted accounts to have the same 'name'. Then you can do targeted queries on user_id = 0 (guest). Upvote 0 Downvote

Harpers Tate Well-known member Apr 17, 2017 #4 That's what I'd do. Change the name to (example) "Guest 78261" (where the number is the user account number) before doing anything else. Upvote 0 Downvote
