I have a users table with a field to register the date the user was registered for the first time, and another field to register the user’s ‘reason’ of that registration.
Now I’ m considering to add a field to register drops (when the user decides not continue with us, or we decide it). To do that I am considering to add a field to register ‘drop’ date, and another field to determine if the user is ‘active’ or ‘inactive’ (registered or dropped..? How is called this in English?), and another field to register the user’s reason of dropping (resignation).
So, the users table would include:

UserState (Registered or Resigned (Dropped?))
RegistrationDate
RegistrationReason
ResignationDate
ResignationReason

Is this the common way to handle user’s registration and resignation in a database?

Thank you,
Cesar

Can they resign but then come back later?

Once they have resigned, they will not have access to the web application.
To come back later they would have to 'register' again, since this might happen, will be rare cases, but I have to consider them.
