XF 2.0 Spammer clean and delete

[JamesBrown]

In xF2 has when you clean up spam do you now have the option to delete the spammer as well, with that same one click?

No, it's the same behaviour as XF1.

The problem with deleting a spammer is they're then free to sign up again with a different email address, and you'll lose their IP address history so they'd be able to re-register with the same IP address without being flagged.

We actually have gone with an approach where users awaiting approval are no longer deleted either, for similar reasons. Instead they are marked as rejected, and it prevents them doing repeat sign ups.
