Option to delete imported users when performing 'Reset Forum'

[netweb]

When you perform a 'Reset Forums' all forums/topics/replies are removed as is the importers conversion table (bbprc4_bbp_converter_translator), this leaves all imported users as standard WordPress users with all bbPress metadata removed from the user.

Because the conversion table is now gone you have no way to delete the imported users as there is no longer a record of what users were imported.

Thus when performing a 'Reset Forums' should there also be an option to also delete these users during this process to remove them whilst bbPress still knows something about these users?

I don't think this behavior should be forced as default as there would be use cases where you do want to actually keep all the users as standard WordPress users if you were to longer use bbPress for example but still wanted the users user/pass to stay in the system.

This sounds pretty easy, is there some user meta data that can be used to only delete users that were imported (and not users that were created outside the importer)?

Replying to jaredatch:

Could look for '_bbp_user_id' in usermeta.

Does anyone have an export I can use for testing so I don't have to manually add the usermeta?

Jared,

How about a SQL database of BuddyPress with Group Forums with some sample data?

That way you can re-run the import as often as you need to import users etc

Sure, I think that may work :)

Moving to 2.4 so we can focus on importers then. If an urgent/compelling patch comes in, we can sneak this in to 2.3.
