I thought I remember hearing a while back that it's not safe to delete users when using this module. Is this true, or am I just not remembering correctly. It was awhile ago anyway and the module has progressed a lot since. I'd really like to be able to delete users, as I've found a lot of spam registrations lately.

It's safe, but the user will
It's safe, but the user will only be disabled in the other application. Because the module can't trigger any delete-actions for third party extensions / mods that you may have installed. So by just disabling the user, it ensures that those get triggered when you delete a user the "normal way".

No, just delete in one, then the account is deactivated in the other, and then you go and delete in the other at your leisure.
