| I never delete them. We need to keep them to compare the banned ip addresses to new members that create problems. There are several that continue to come back creating drama. Inescia.

For "real" users, I keep their account. If you delete it, they'll be able to register again with the same user name and e-mail address, unless you restrict the name and e-mail. And as others have said, you will have some details to hand if you need it.
