XF 2.3 spam cleaning

[MITK]

I have within a day 179 accounts that have been marked as potential spam and trying to get access to the site, is there a way to flag all of them and purge them at once instead of going through each one Individually?

Don't see why you couldn't batch-update > delete them from here: ../admin.php?users/batch-update

You'll get a delete option at the bottom after it gets results:

You think it would be easier just to have some code in there to select all and then delete I took a look at your idea but all the people that are blocked by the spam filter are still classified as members so if I did it member delete real members would end up getting deleted which is not really a good thing.

If they are in the moderation queue you should be able to search based on their User state to locate them rather than their User group I think. Then batch process.

Could they be users with state = valid, but whose posts are in moderation queue?

Sorry I should have really said "approval queue". If they have piled up there then they should all have the same User State, pretty sure I did that (bulk removal) a few times before we tightened up registration with other checkers and whatnot.

Yes I meant approval queue. I can't test right now as I don't often have stuff in. there, but from memory you can have either users waiting for user approval, or posts awning post approval.
