Answers.Text: None yet, @JDH.  I'll see what we can do about this for 2.3, though.

Body: <p>We had an instance where a user deleted an admin and it seemed to delete the content that user had created. Is this currently how Craft works? If so is there a way around that without having to change every entry's author. Or suggestion adding a prompt to warn user of content being deleted and to just suspend them.</p>

  Currently, yes, that's how it works.
  
  It's on our list to 1) Add a prompt warning what's about to happen and 2) Add options as to what you want to do with that author's current content (assign to a different user, delete, etc.).
  
  **Update:**
  
  As of [Craft 2.3](http://buildwithcraft.com/updates#build2615), when a user's account is deleted you'll be prompted what you want to do with their content.
