Post History

Until the system has a way to distinguish between the different reasons for deletion, we should ensure we consider users who have done nothing wrong, and have a strong reason for concealing that they ever (potentially accidentally) had a profile on a community that they have since been deleted from. I imagine that such cases will be rare, but we should accommodate them first, and add conveniences for other cases over time.

## Who should see deleted users
Each of the user types in the list below reflects the following reasoning: a deleted community user should show up only to users who have access to view the deleted user page.

On the "All Communities" tab of the user page, visibility of deleted users should be as follows:

- **User (including curator)**: They should see only deleted community users who are the same network user. If my community user on Mathematics Codidact is deleted, it should show up on my own "All Communities" tab, but other users should not be able to see it.
- **Community moderator / community admin**: These should only be able to see deleted community users on that same community. If my community user on Mathematics Codidact is deleted, it should show to Mathematics moderators and Mathematics admins, but not to Physics moderators or Physics admins.
- **Global moderator / global admin**: These should be treated the same as being a community level moderator/admin on every community, so all deleted community users should show, regardless of which community.

In all cases, a deleted community user that is visible should be clearly marked as deleted (rather than having to follow the link to find this out).
