Deleting a user in Network Admin still defaults to "Delete all posts"

We should either do what those tickets suggested in Network Admin as well for consistency, or redo/remove the form, since the attribution only works for the main site, as noted in ticket:20045:14.

I'd be in favor of redoing the form to address the true implications of deleting a network user.

There could be a possibility of a per site attribution/deletion option. Though if a user is a member of many sites, that could get unwieldy.

Replying to jeremyfelt:

This is the case currently and has been the case since MU. Are referring to something else?

I think what would be helpful is to have some screenshots of the current flow, then we can work out what is best from this point.

Step 1 in the multisite user deletion flow (viewing the list of all network users and clicking Delete)

[cgrymala]

Step 2 in the network user deletion flow (choosing what to do with that user's content on each site)

[cgrymala]

Step 3 in the network user deletion flow (choosing which user to whom to attribute the user's content)

[cgrymala]

Step 4 in network user deletion flow (after selecting the appropriate actions for all sites in the network, clicking Confirm Deletion)

[cgrymala]

Step 5 in network user deletion flow (user is successfully deleted)

I've just uploaded a series of screenshots that, hopefully, show the flow of this process.

In Step 3, you'll notice that clicking to expand the Select with the list of usernames doesn't check the "Attribute all content to:" radio button; I feel like it would be logical for that to happen. I can't imagine a user expanding that select without intending to check that radio button.

Also, I may be wrong, but I don't believe there's any process to actually verify whether the user being deleted has any content on each of the sites listed. Instead, every site of which that user is a member is listed in this list. For a user that was a Super Admin, but didn't actually create much content, this process is overly cumbersome on a large network. It would be nice if, before asking what to do with the user's content on a particular site, the system attempted to check whether the user actually had any content on that site. There is no reason to ask what to do with the user's content if the user has no content. I do realize, though, that this may add a lot of overhead and resource usage to this process.
