 > Wipe the bio
 > Delete the URL
 Hiding it seems reasonable, like profiles.w.org does for blocked users.

 > Normalize the display name
 Does this mean resetting it to the user nicename/login? That seems
 reasonable to remove any custom First/Last/Nickname added.

 > Display Name (instead, just show the user ID)
 Is the display name significant here? These pages should be noindexed, so
 I'm not sure that gains much, other than for

 > Profile, Forum Role, Title, (show nothing)
 Agreed.
 I'm not sure the Forum Role field should be shown anyway normally, it
 doesn't seem like much of a benefit other than flagging Moderators. Maybe
 we should just show it if the viewed user has Mod capabilities?

 > Member Since, Topics Started, Replies Created, Reviews Written (maybe
 show nothing??)
 I'm not sure blanking these benefits anyone much? It's not like these are
 private details or going to contain anything sensitive?
