[wp-hackers] deleting a user, save posts by him

[Kaf Oseo]

A user_status already exists in the users table, and as far as I can 
tell it's not presently handled by anything in WordPress. Seems that 
would fit best for defining a user's 'status' on the blog instead of 
playing around with user_level.
