[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Question about showing / not showing a name of a deleted user in some places (Issue #6844)

[Tom Hughes]

So #1311, #6056, #4194, #3158 are just a few tickets I found in a quick search that discuss details of the way deleted users are handled.

Sometimes we hide them altogether like they never existed, sometimes we show something like "deleted user", sometimes we show their name (which itself may be changed to "user_NNNN" depending on how the deletion happened) and then there's whether suspended users should be treated the same.

What we need to decide is (a) what we want to do and then (b) whether LWG says that is actually OK given GDPR etc constraints. Then we can start work on trying to make things consistent.

A complication is that historically users were deleted for different reasons and where a user was deleted for spamming we really want to hide them and their diary entries, comments etc (as we generally do now) but maybe we don't want to do that for a self-deleted account.
