We should never delete accounts IMO. The db isn’t going to like a hole and there are other ways to get around account restriction if that is what this is about (IE multiple email registering, etc).
The database won’t care, I assure you:/ Over the past 9 years of using IPB, I’ve come across every possible scenario, including the person who joined for the arcade, and wanted his account deleted.
Posts are kept (unless specified otherwise during delete), and the stats stay the same. Doesn’t lose a member. Deleting does nothing except remove his name from the active users list, and into what I like to call “the phantom category”, which is basically the guests group that you can’t edit:P
That being said, why delete him? No real reason to….I mean, meh. It’s just a pain in the *edited*.
