Maybe editing of the user page by anyone should be blocked and log entries have the target hidden?

Blocking edits to their userspace is a good idea. If log entries occurring after the hiding can also be automatically suppressed as they occur (I think that's what you're saying), that solves the problem. Second choice would be to, as with the edits, just prevent subsequent (un)protections/(un)deletions/(un)blocks/renames/moves on the user(space).

Yeah, I was wondering if there is any reason to allow protect/move type events. If there is none, they can just be disallowed.

Well, except suppression events, like page suppression, which may come in handy and logged privately.

As long as any existing pages in the userspace are automatically deleted and suppressed when the user is hidden, so it doesn't become impossible to remove them after hiding, I don't see any reason to allow such events.

Currently, user and user talk pages and subpages are not suppressed on block.

Reverted btw.

There are just too many places where this info will end up popping up, and it's just too hard to *guarantee* that the name won't be findable in any form.
