Request: MOD to return 404/410 error on deleted forum content (instead of 200)

[gumiks]

Copied from SMF2.0.X support board http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=547156.0

Recently some spammers were able to register to my forum so I've deleted their accounts (after enforcing registration rules).
But then Google crawler started bugging me about false "Soft 404" responses from deleted profile pages.

How do I configure SMF so it returns 404 error on deleted user's profile instead of status 200?

Below are sample urls that Google is complaining about (u=89 is deleted spammer account)

forum/index.php?action=profile;area=summary;u=89
forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=89
forum/index.php?action=profile;area=statistics;u=89
forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=attach;u=89
forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=topics;u=89
forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=messages;u=89

Thanks for help in advance.

Wishing simple interface on admin forum settings:

[return HTTP status error on:]

Missing user:    (*) 200    () 404    () 410
Missing topic:   (*) 200    () 404    () 410

Missing anything else: (*) 200    () 404    () 410
