I agree that their comments should be deleted automatically, however I did not like the message their comments were replaced with because it implies I banned them. It would also be nice if moderators and admin of other instances could at least be notified. If the user has written a really useful answer to a question or a how to guide then that could disappear forever. Someone else in this thread stated that the comments should be deleted forever. I really don't like the idea of someone having the ability to delete things completely off of my server.
A user's posts and comments are actually stored on their home instance, I believe, and a copy is pushed to your instance during federation.
Indeed I was able to restore their comments. However, it was somewhat of a fluke that I saw what happened.
