** Changed in: mahara
       Status: New => Opinion

** Summary changed:

- Fully erase a user from Mahara
+ Fully erase a person's contributions from Mahara

** Description changed:

+ See https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=8628 for the
+ original request.
+ 
  When you delete a user account, all personal data is wiped from the
  system. The user’s contributions in groups, e.g. forum messages,
  uploaded files and pages created in a group, are still available, but
  are made anonymous by changing the name to « Deleted user » as author
  where an author is shown.
  
  In accordance with GDPR compliance, it would be good to offer the
  possibility to not only anonymize contribution but delete them when the
  user is deleted.
  
  Currently this option is not available.
  
  To implement this we would need to make the following changes:
  
  1) Turn forum posts done by the user into 'Post deleted' value to allow
  post threads to continue to exist
  
  2) Delete forum topics the user started
  
  3) Delete any files uploaded into groups by the user
  
  4) Delete any pages in groups created by the user
  
  5) Delete / update blocks on other group pages where content / files
  added user exist
  
  6) Delete any group journal entries done by the user
  
  7) Delete any group plans / tasks that were created by the user
