[Eric K]

There's a MW extension that deletes a user, check it out, hope it works for you:

  I created a user that I now want to remove. The FAQ says I cannot delete a 
user (why?) but I can block the user. So, I tried to block the user and got 
this error:

Query failed: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type cidr

I entered a username instead of an ip address to block. The username was used 
in place of the ip address and the php code tried to put the username into 
the ipb_address field of the ipblocks table which, is of type cidr. So, the 
insert fails. Any ideas on fixing this? I did not see a bug for this in 
bugzilla. It is a postgresql backend, if that makes a difference.

I found the user record in the mwuser table. Is it possible to delete this 
record without causing problems elsewhere in the application?

Thanks,
Tom
