    [Forum] Delete a User and Posts

    I would like to delete a user and every post they've ever made. I don't want those posts to turn into posts from guests. These posts were from Spammers that posted over 5,000 posts in a single night. How do I remove them all and delete the user? I don't want to have to do this one by one.

    when you select "Delete User" from the drop-down menu you should see the following on the next page:

    Confirm Deletion: discodan

    Are you sure you want to delete the user called 'discodan'?
    (userid: 17)

    All posts made by this user will be set to 'Guest'

    This action cannot be undone.
    If you want to prune all the user's messages first, please click here.

      Go to one of his post, and use the admin/mod options to "delete as spam"

        So far as I remember this doesn't work with such big amount of posts (5000). So, the best way is doing it like ProSportsForums told it.
