In DISCUSSIONS, mark users “inactive” if their enrollment was Deleted

  • Students who posted to a discussion, then their enrollment was changed to “completed”, this user is marked “inactive” in the discussion. Good!
  • Students who posted to a discussion, then their enrollment was DELETED – this user is Not identified as inactive in the discussion, so it appears the student is still active.
  • Users with deleted enrollments need to be marked as “inactive” in discussions, for parity as users with completed enrollments.

Yes, this is very annoying. Students think that the person is still in class and are expecting a reply to their messages post to them. 

The point is why are they treated different on the discussion board. Either way they both dropped the class, they are not in People, so that should be indicated on the Discussion board in both cases. One has Inactive next to their name and the other says nothing, as if they are still there. 

It actually seems more like a bug fix, rather than an enhancement.
