	I asked the same question previously. Deleting a member is WAY too hard to find. See Borg? I'm not the only one :)

	I was under the impression that posts will be under Guest as soon as you deleted someone. Has anyone deleted a member recently to verify?

	I just tried it out on one of my forums and i can confirm that it does indeed leave all there posts as 'Guest' posts Maybe an option next to the 'delete member' checkbox that adds the option to remove their posts as well would be nice???
	Handyman man?

	I wouldn't recommend it. If you delete a member with all his/her posts it will make the forum look bad when someone reads through posts to find that some people are talking to themselves...! I'd rather create a new group called Suspended members or check the "Suspend member" through their profile which will disable their account.

	That's a good point. New users will be reading through the threads and will be confused with nothing making sense due to missing posts.
