[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Profile picture and user name still visible dispite user has been suspended/deleted (#3158)

[Tom Hughes]

A full delete would do that yes but we don't normally do that for spammers - we do what the site calls "hide" which just sets the user status to deleted without purging other data.

That's a deliberate choice on my part, to preserve information about the spammers so we can analyse things like what IP addresses and email domains they are using.
