Change deleted user's name to something other than 'guest'

by Restless Rancor » Sun May 02, 2021 5:15 pm

Hi, is it possible to chose what the username of the deleted user will show as? Something other than Guest?
(Preferably, the given replacement?)
Thanks

Hi, It only replaced the username shown in the quote, not on the post profile/memberlist. Have I missed something?

You still have to alter it remove the user, this step is intended for anonymising the posts.

Hi, when a member is deleted it changes their username to Guest on the profile bit of their posts, so if I alter it before deleting the member, it will still change to Guest.
Sorry I don't think I'm understanding.

Hmm... I understand you now. Unfortunately, what you're asking isn't provided by this extension. IIRC, phpBB has changed the inner working when deleting a user, tying the posts to the actual guest user now.

I guess it's possible to achieve what you want though, but not with this current extension.
