How to delete a user

[tedr56]

Hello guys, just a small question.

If a testing user is no longer needed, who can I delete it, not just ban.

Thanks

At current, we don't have the functionality for deleting a user (after all, the more users, the merrier ;))

What would you have us do when a user a deleted? Delete their posts too? (Not sure if that is the best solution however)

I would keep the posts but have the option to delete the posts in case its a spammer.

Agreed with Stuart.

You can have a generic account to swap them to like "Guest" which is how they do it on vBulletin but really the only accounts I've ever deleted are spam-bots.

So, in development mode, how can I delete the users?

I'm trying to make a steam openid authentication plugin and I only have one account on steam to test, so I want to delete my user in order to make tests...

You could always open redis-cli and delete the user hash, ie. something like

hdel user:1

or whatever uid it is

http://redis.io/commands/hdel for more info

edit: but having a dedicated delete button would be better

Is this in the works at all?
