XF 1.5 Ban and/or Delete user option when bulk selecting threads.

[Jim Mastrangelo]

We've not moderated on of our forums for a while and now are trying to clean up the spam. I've tried various methods including other addons but there simply no other way (from what i can see and have read) of bulk deleting users. (I've already read the post dealing-with-forum-spam.980)

My thought is to go to various forums and bulk selecting threads and having the option to delete the thread and ban the user by bulk action via the options list.

Thanks,

The spam cleaner is the best option - it will ban the user and delete and posts and threads made by that user.

As far as I know I have to go through each post for that....?

The spam cleaner can remove all of a user's content in one go. If the content is by different users, it does need to be per user.

Agreed. And that's still a lot better than on an individual post basis.

 

[Jim Mastrangelo]

They're all different users, and I have pages upon pages.

There is a Batch Update Users feature, but, unfortunately, it doesn't cover post removal.
