I've got a couple user accounts that I want to eliminate, or at least disable and hide from display in lists. Any suggestions? I could just remove the row from user, but that seems risky. What do you normally do if someone creates a user and uses profanity or the like for the name?

I have been unable to find anything on this on meta.

I'm removing malicious users quite from the users table regularly. Something else I'd eventually like to do is cleanup the user table from users that have never even done even a single edit - a rough estimate is that 80 - 90% of users fall into this class.
