Mainly for

a) Undo in case of a mistake or

b) Undo in case the deleted user has second thoughts

In either case, it's preferable to any kind of manual reconstruction as it would retain all the history, notes, Warnings, IPs etc etc.....


Yes, I did delete a user account a while back in error.  We did restore it - by copying data from a nightly db backup - but that was (I gather) a PITA to do.


It's probably worth adding that ideally an account that's soft deleted (pending deletion) should be wholly concealed from the front end - preferably subject to a separate view permission; unable to log on, not seen by members etc.
