    How do i mass delete spammers from ACP?

    As most of you already know because of captcha being compromised vbulletin is a prime target for spammers... i have a good method of blocking them now as the more they spam our forums (unsuccesfully) the more data i glean in terms of email domains/IP's etc etc... but i wondered if i catch a spammer who's used an IP-address multiple times to try and register its such a bind trying to delete them, is it always one by one? - you see i have one user who's registered 60+ accounts on my forums since 2011 i thought using 'user-search' i could find them all... which i did, but no way of selecting them all and removing them, is there a way? please advise, thanks

      Why not just move them to a 'spammers' usergroup then prune them from there?
