[Suggestion] Spam cleaner: also remove quoted spam

[Walter]

The spam cleaner is wonderful, here a small suggestion to even improve it further:

Often users quote messages of spammer:

spammer: "buy watch x",
normal user replies with "don't spam our forum!"

It would be nice if I not only could remove the posts of the spammer but also the posts of other users who quoted his posts...

I concur with Walter on this, so I support the idea. +1

Good idea.

The only problem I would see is if the member says something OTHER then quoting the member; they'd be losing the post the typed as well as a single comment.

I noticed it a lot, my users would comment about the spammer, but keep commenting on the thread at hand as well.

interesting idea, but it's practicable?

I always told the users: don't comment on spam threads or spam posts. If you choose to do, your post will be removed too. Your problem.
Sounds unfriendly, but it always worked.

That is -usually- my stance on it, but the site that had the most problems with spam was a support site, and I was unwilling to remove the posts that were a valid bug report, or a feature suggestion.

I think it should be entirely possible to replace the <Quote></Quote> with post-number the same as the spam-post with something like <Quote>Deleted Spam Post</Quote>

Would be even better, yes!

Make it phrased so someone can include a link to the Monty Python spam skit .

I think the spam threads should be deleted, completely.

Often the spammers post in already existing threads.

Make the system smarter. If the post is not first post, delete the post only. If the post is the first post, delete the thread

This is about removing/changing the quote of spam threads, without deleting the users post.

I have misunderstood what OP was talking about. Anyway. I support the idea, if it can be done, although, the quote is contained in the post data, stored in the post table.
