XF 2.2 Deleting a Banned account Un-deletes deleted posts

This is unxpected behavior, maybe a bug:

1. User is banned, all posts appear with the username with a line through it.

2. User's posts are all manually deleted, but the hidden-from-public-view kind, not the permanently-delete kind.

3. In ACP, user account is deleted.

4. Users posts now appear with Deleted Member <nnnnn> but have also reappeared as publicly viewable again - this seems unexpected and I consider it bug.

Comments?

Thanks.

We tend not to delete banned users posts, unless they are in violation of our T&C because it can disrupt the flow of a thread.

We also do not used "Banned". We were served papers by a banned member that by having banned under their name was hurting them in a job search (or something). We chose not to deal with it and used something more creative, in our case being a ski forum, "Pass Pulled" which is enough to not have an issue. We also use "Inactive" for people who want their account closed, we do not delete accounts, period.

This doesn't happen for me (just did a test). You are correct that would not be expected behaviour, but I cannot reproduce the issue, for me it all works as expected

In that case why put banned under their name? Default is to not show anyone apart from mods/admin that someone is banned.

[sorry for OT, it would be best for new thread on Your Ski Advisor problem)
 
Thank you for the replies, everyone. I am not sure why this happened but it's interesting that it happened, and we can repeat the behavior here. We do have a number of add-ons installed, so perhaps that's why, but at this point, it will be a project for another day.

Thanks again.
