since it's a transitive association it can not be deleted through a dependent: :delete_all
I tried changing it to a direct association through sender_id, but this caused problems as the original messages includes not only sent messages, but received ones too.
I ended up transfering them to deleted user too instead of deleting them just on the off chance that they could be of use once we redo classroom.
Apparently the rails version we're using right now's ActiveSupport::Concern does not include prepended helpers yet, so I had to define WithDeletedUser with the more traditional syntax.
:dart: Goal
Allow properly deleting users.
