[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Usernames of deleted users are visible on /changeset/ID (#2024)

[Tom Hughes]

No that replacement was never done at display time, but I can understand why you thought it was. There are in effect three possible states:

* Suspended, where the user state is set to `suspended` either automatically by the spam score or manually by an administrator.
* Hidden, where the user state is set to `deleted` by an administrator.
* Deleted, where the user state is set to `deleted` and personal information is cleared from the user record by an administrator.

The last case is where `user_XXX` will appear, because that is what the display name is changed to when a user is deleted.

For spammers I normally use hide so as to preserve details while account closure requests use delete instead so that personal information is removed.
