 * I’ve created multiple Dovetail member levels, then deleted some I didn’t need.
   They no longer show up in the Dovetail settings, but they still show up in the
   WP User Settings. In other words, when I create a new user and hit the ROLE drop
   down, I see WP roles, Dovetail active roles, and Dovetail deleted roles. Is there
   a way to purge the system of those deleted roles?

 * Hey!
    Thanks very much for trying out Dovetail; it’s always a pleasure to hear
   someone else is putting it to good use out there!
 * You’ve uncovered something that hasn’t actually been captured before; well done!
   To answer your question: no, there isn’t currently.
 * When a role gets deleted you’re right, it does exhibit that behaviour. I guess
   the problem is that when you delete a role in Dovetail, you’ve got to handle 
   the fact that there might be people with that role currently in the database.
   There’s two ways to handle that:
    1. Once a role is created, you can’t delete it
    2. Deleting roles causes everyone to be demoted to another status (like the default“
       subscriber” level)
 * Actually, my feeling is number one’s the best option. What do you think?
