Note: nowadays there is a specific class for destroying Users and associated records cleanly: `UserDestroyer`.

So instead of this:

> [@zogstrip](#):
>
> ```ruby
> User.where(post_count: 0).destroy_all
> 
> ```

This should be done:

```ruby
destroyer = UserDestroyer.new(Discourse.system_user)
User.joins(:user_stat).where("user_stats.post_count = 0").each { |u| destroyer.destroy(u) }

```
