Deleted account, couldn't create again from same email. #228

After having deleted an account, google sign in just returns to login screen, and self signup throws error "email already taken".

@cameronmurdock Yes, this is how it was originally coded: that if a user is deleted, it's just marked as deleted (not actually deleted), and so if you try to create it again, it's already taken.

See #139

How do you think it should work, when someone deletes a user? Should it actually delete the user? And should anything be done with everything they created? If it doesn't delete their data, what should happen if a user tries to view this user's profile? And if the data isn't deleted, what should happen when a user creates a new user with the same email? Perhaps none of this is necessary for this issue, but might want to consider them all together.

And is this something for this release?

I think we need a way to delete and create accounts again while testing. In the future, it might make sense to retain the data for integrity of the relationships in the db , but for now, I think just destroying their posts and accounts would be OK.
