This is a common problem with updates in MySQL. Here is your query:
DELETE FROM ActiveUsers WHERE username = 'mazhar.hayat#ibexglobal.com'
The error stems from that you are not using a primary key column in the WHERE clause. You would also see this error if you had no WHERE clause at all. MySQL has a mode which views a DML query like this as unsafe, because it is broad and runs the risk of corrupting your data.
There is a hack solution to this which might work. You could modify the query to mention the primary key column as follows:
DELETE
FROM ActiveUser
WHERE username = 'mazhar.hayat#ibexglobal.com' AND id=id
This might spoof MySQL into thinking the query is safe, because it mentions the primary key column id in the WHERE clause.
But what I would recommend to you is turning off safe updates mode directly in MySQL. Edit your startup script and make sure that --safe-updates and --i-am-a-dummy are not mentioned in the script.
Edit:
If you wanted to handle this from destroy, then the query option is the only option:
Post.findAll(
{ where: ["username = ? AND id = id", data.nickname] }
).success()
