After deleting a user, who is the author of the comment?
If the admin or super-admin deletes a user, Multicollab Plugin presents 2 options in front of the admin user. These options are: 
Delete all content associated with the user being deleted;
Attribute all content to another user.
So, in both the cases, admin users have the right to change the owner of content while a user is getting deleted. Read further details related to both the options below:
1.Delete all content
If the admin chooses to delete all the content related to the user being deleted, all comments and replies by the user for the pages and posts in your website will be owned by the admin thereafter. 

For the comments/replies mentioning the deleted user in the content and for the comments where the deleted user is assignee (i.e. assigned for that comment), the username of the deleted user will be replaced by the username of admin. So, from now onwards, admin will be the owner and handler of these comments too.

Example: Let’s say, a user A had added comments on a page titled ABC and he was assigned a few comments in other pages. Now, if the admin deletes the user A, all the added comments and assigned comments will now be attributed to admin.

2.Attribute all content to another user
If an admin wants to delete a user and assign another user with all the comments, replies and mentions related to this user, this option must be chosen.Attribute all content to another user will also change the assignee of comments/replies to this selected user, instead of the previous (deleted) user.

Example: If a user named ‘A’ has added comments on ABC and has assigned a few comments and replies to others, attributing all content to another user named ‘B’ will imply that ‘A’ username will be replaced with the username ‘B’ everywhere. Therefore, user ‘B’ will be notified for all further actions taken related to this content.
What happens to the pasted content in a comment/reply?
Whether you copy just the text or the content with rich media, Multicollab comment or reply box will convert it into plain text. So, the pasted content will always be in the text-format while using our plugin for editorial commenting.
What happens if we add a URL in the comment?
Once you have added a URL in a comment or reply, it will work as a regular URL. To make the URL available for future and for other users, you must update/publish your page/post (to which this URL is added). On clicking this URL, you or the authorized users will be redirected to it. 
The process of redirection to the URL has a time-counter added to it. During the countdown, you can stop redirection by clicking anywhere on the screen.
