Good sleuthing! We should fix the error message at minimum.

`"body": "{\"deleted\":false,\"message\":\"User XXX has 0 posts, so they can't be deleted.\"}"`

It should say

`User has x post(s), so they can't be deleted.`

We should also probably hint at the situation since this has come up a fair bit

`User has x posts(s), either public posts or personal messages, so they can't be deleted`
