[Deleted User] still appears

1. Still waiting on the Registration change promised by Lincoln before I am able to launch the 3 sites.

2. As is, a spammer can create a 100 handles with non existing e-mails and start posting.

3. When a spammer is deleted with all his content, [Deleted User] litters the forum. Can [Deleted User] be made not to appear anywhere on the forum?

4. Can the blue bar color at the top be changed to a different color?

Thank you.

Lincoln

1. I'm well aware.

2. That's highly unlikely, especially if Stop Forum Spam is enabled in the Addons section.

3. It sounds like you want to ban the user, not delete them. Banning would preserve the user name. If you want the content removed entirely, that's on the list of options when you decide to delete a user.

4. No, theme customizations are only available on paid plans.

Yes, that's what I wanted and I did delete him, and the exact words [Deleted User] remained on the activity page anywhere that deleted user was the last to post spam on every thread. I know that from another Vanilla forum.

What outcome were you hoping for instead?

Banker

When you delete a member, the words [Deleted User] should not appear anywhere on the forum, especially in discussions and activity.

Now, Lincoln, with all due respect, I am a bit frustrated that you stopped communicating with me on switching the membership option to applicants approval.

Any particular reason why you are delaying me when you know that I understood your promise and I am still waiting for you to fulfill it before I make any efforts to announce the 3 forums?

If my friendly follow ups are considered annoying to you, please say so, as I communicate with you in honesty and good faith.

Thank you.

Lincoln

What would you like to appear instead of "[Deleted User]"? That's what I'm not understanding. You want their name to remain?

Non-free plans get priority for support requests, and I'm working at 1:20am on a Sunday to keep up with requests.

Oh, please forgive me. You make a lot of sense, and I thank you so much. You're absolutly right.
