In the software I use to run my forum, there are the options to delete a userid (and/or the posts) and ban the userid. When a user is banned, their info (login details, posts, etc..) remains, that user just can't login anymore. They can re-register, but must use a different id, since that one is still in the database. Of course, posts themselves can be deleted.
