Hi @Ian Johnson 

No, they will not.

The Reporter will just be visualized as Unknown or Former user.

You could also Suspend the account, then the user can't be used anymore and won't count to active users.

This will retain the reporter information.

Definitely recommend deactivating the user and not deleting them.
