How to delete posts in the Admin Control Panel

[Clusius]

Hello,

I used the new function "delete as spam"

and got this message during delete process.

"You will remove all posts for the selected users, those with more than 50 posts will need to be removed via the admin control panel."

How does it work in the Admin Control Panel?

I have spammers with more then 3000 posts...

Also I would like to know how I can delete guest posts.


Best Regards

Thank You

but how I can delete posts from Users which were deleted and have Guest Status now?

There is no way to do that from the Admin CP now. That should have been done before deleting that user.

You could try doing this with a query but I do not know if it will produce any unwanted side affects. For that reason this option is not supported. The query would be:

delete from post where username="Spammer's Name";

Then you need to rebuild the thread and forum counters in that order:

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters
