 Hi @espellcaste

 Sure, please see below.

 1. Create two accounts (e.g. David and Fred).
 2. Create a private message thread between these two accounts, and send
 multiple messages back and forth between the two users. See first attached
 image for an example of what this could look like on the website.
 3. Delete one of the users (E.g. David).
 4. View the message thread on the website, using Fred's account. You'll
 see that all messages from the deleted user have been anonymised to
 "[deleted]", and their Name is now "Deleted User", as in the second
 attached image.
 5. View the message thread through the REST API as Fred, using GET /wp-
 json/buddypress/v1/messages/<threadID>. You'll see that all messages from
 David are still visible, i.e. they have not been anonymised. The third
 attached image is an example from this thread where a message hasn't been
 anonymised (i.e. the "Do you like to travel?" line).
