Batch delete forum posts by member

 

I just wrote a very long post that got rejected due to the spam filter. You should allow us to retrieve the post. A lot of data was lost when I posted.

 

In a summary, I wrote is there any way you can do a batch delete by member in their profile? We just got spammed really bad with them selling many different things, and it starting to get really time consuming. 2 of us spent maybe 1 hour today deleting posts 1 by 1. They posted just outside the flood settings.

 

If you cannot add this feature, can you tell me what is required in a hidden script I could write? To delete a member's posts, and their topics, what needs to be done to not mess up anything in the datbase? I am sure there are connections between tables. I guess I could try to figure it out, but you know best! Maybe delete the topics started by them first, then their posts? Anything else needs deleting?

 

I will copy this so it will not get lost if the spam filter gets it.

 

Thanks,

Another idea would be to allow the admin to set the number of posts a member could have where it would bypass the spam filter. So if a user has 10 posts, the filter would not apply. I would hate to have a long post rejected by a valuable forum member with all their work lost! Or maybe have it optionally go to Pending Approval status as an option.

 

Thanks,
