Guest posts - Missing field "url" (in "comment.author")

[AlexWebsites]

If you delete a member and leave their content attributed to "guest", google webmaster tools for these urls will show you:

 

Not a big issue but maybe add a default user page for guest posts? Maybe a guest user profile/url, sort of "catch all". Just an idea.

Im not sure what the bug would be there, to be honest. Its stating there it could be presented with more features, but as there isnt really an author, thats not the case

Not a bug, just a suggestion to have a default “guest” author in the mark up.

I think you may be missing what Im saying there. There is no "author", so there is no detail to add. There is no URL there for us to add to it as there is no URL to a guess author

This wouldn't make sense and would probably be unhelpful in search as those posts attributed to a default single author would actually have been written by multiple people. 

I think having no author details is the best thing to do with it.
