Different forum, different operators, different modus operandi (even if it uses the same forum software in this case).

By deactivating I guess you mean anonymising. This is a common option in case a user wishes to leave, so that all posts are kept readable in order to not destroy forum context if possible (example, you can find more posts by such users by starting a search with
@anon, you’ll get user suggestions then).
Suspending an account seems to be an even less intrusive option, found here for instance.
Deleting a user instead should also be possible, of course, but that might be admin territory instead of moderator territory. Since I’m neither … Any insight for this forum here, @moderators?
