[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] User account self-deletion allows bad actors to delete and recreate the same account name to "lose" changeset discussion and block history (Issue #4018)

[AustrianMapper]

Hungerburg stay on topic, once again by creating pseudonyms with the same name for real people you are spreading out-of-the-box claims and don't provide any practical example. However, there is another problem. Anyone who deletes their pseudonym must currently expect that their opponents will then take over this name, so Negreheb nutrius himself operates the avatar https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Adresshistoryorg which corresponds to the formerly known avatar https:// wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Beautifulplaces#Subavatars is very similar to adresshistory_org.
Why a name can currently be re-registered immediately after it has been deleted has no parallel in any project that I know of
