What is the recommendation for closing accounts? I’m having trouble discerning the difference between anonymizing and deleting users, or whether I should just use suspend forever? I would prefer post content to remain, but it sounds like deleting a user results in their posts getting removed as wel…

As an aside, I see my full name is visible here, is this a plugin? Or a new feature? How do I turn this on?

It kind of varies on a case by case basis, some people will insist on full deletion… which we consider a last resort because it leaves gaps in existing conversations when their posts are deleted.

In our community, the policy is: User requests account removal (for GDPR or other reasons) - anonymize User is on probation (for major infractions against our community guidelines ) - short silence with a note …

I’ll share my use case and reasoning to see if anyone has a better idea. I use suspend when I need to close an account because my community is for our company.
