In order to avoid inadvertently blasting an email or IP address into orbit, is there a way to remove the button here?

This is what we see when clicking on Delete for a user in the admin area.

**Important caveat** : we only use Delete for new or recent sign-ups when the user starts spamming the forum or adding content that violates our Code of Conduct.

In all other cases, we Anonymize if relevant.

In other words, we only want the Delete Only button.

Next question, which is related: we can manually add an IP to the Screened IPs section but not for Screened Emails:

How can we change this to add a field for manual input?

Thanks in advance,
