Er, let me clarify: Much of the discussion here, as I see it, has been about how to preserve a user account, but block user access to that account.

My question is: If it were really important to make sure the user could no longer access the system at all, why not just delete the account? Deleting the user does not (necessarily) delete their data, so what's the use case for keeping the account at all in such a situation?
