That’s actually a really good idea; keep the account active but disable it. That way the user can’t be re-created. I guess I was a little hasty about it. Oh well.

Also, sorry this comment sat in the SPAM queue for so long (released today, almost 2 moths after it was made), I didn’t expect anyone to find or comment on anything here. Thanks for stopping by!

I really don’t understand why people delete the account. I came up with what I think is a better solutionthen just deleting the account.

1. I changed the password for that account.
2. I made it so the user doesn’t even have read rights. Thanks Role Manager.
3. I changed almost everything about the user to indicate it is a spam account.
4. I disabled the forgot password feature. Thanks WP-IDS.
