 When deleting a user, you have to decide, if their content should be
 assigned to another person, or if that content should be deleted.

 The option to delete the content is quite drastic, compared to assigning
 it.
 Since this option is not reversible, it should be made clearer, what
 impact this has.

 I see multiple ways to warn the users, what they're about to do:
 - Mark the option to delete bold and use a different color (e.g. red)
 - Users have to confirm in a second step, if the delete option is selected
 - By default, pre-select the option to assign the content to another user
 - Use a kind of "Danger Zone" like GitHub does for deleting repositories

 But maybe, something as simple as showing the amount of content could
 suffice:
 - **Delete** all content (19 posts, 2 pages, 31 images)
