XF 2.0 How can I select (and delete!) all messages written by banned users?

[Marco Famà]

hi guys,

I'm running in such a very uncomfortable situation on my forum:



for some reason that I ignore, the SPAM button didn't do the real clean up so I'm hosting hundreds of useless spammy messages on my XF board (https://timelapsenetwork.com/forum/) and I don't know how to clean it up easily

I tried to flag ONE BY ONE each checkbox but as you can understand, that it a big pain.


Maybe the ACP provides an easy way to run such query in a matter of few clicks? If not, any smart solution for me?

thanks a lot for your kindness
Marco

Search Admin CP for : Spam cleaner thread action

Change to permanently delete message.

And run spam cleaner again to permanently remove everything.

isn't it already the way it should be, Justin?

i didnt noticed those are soft deleted posts, Use batch Update thread via admin cp, select state as deleted and permanently delete thread. Please do cross verify before removing any content or tale backup.
