I just realized that we do not need the handle in qa_eventlog.

Especially when the handle (username) is changed be the user, all those saved handles are wrong!

Can somebody elaborate why this is done?

PS: I checked if there is any case where we have userid==NULL and handle NOT NULL, there is none in my production forum.

I don’t know off hand but the handle field may be used for custom names of anonymous users.

I'd suggest to have NULL on the handle, since the handle could change, and only keep the userid. The handle can - as you say - be set in case it's an anonymous user stating his name (plus userid NULL, of course).
