Public bug reported: Hi Barry, I ran into some trouble after deleting a user account via the rest API. Apparently the user's address records were kept, which lead to two problems: - Memberships cannot be retrieved via rest any more. - The deleted user cannot be created again using any of their previous addresses. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a user through the REST API 2) Delete that user through the REST API 3) Repeat step 1) (possibly because a person wants to register again after leaving) => 500 status code is returned through the REST -- ExistingAddressError is raised. 4) Access /3.0/addresses => Result still contains the email address used in 1). 5) Access /3.0/members => 500 status code is returned As a workaround, I tried to delete all the user's addresses through the API, but doing that returned 405 (Method not allowed). Wouldn't it be best to delete all address/membership records from the db when a user record is deleted?
