Hi
There is a spamer in my board that created more than 3000 threads in some days. now I want to delete all threads created with this user. How can I do this? I could not find anyway because with delete user in admincp his threads and posts will be guest and not be deleted.
We had a plugin in lower versions that delete a user with all threades started with him . I cant find this plugin in 3.8.x
Thanks in advance
Can you do it using the moderation controls? Go to the user's profile page Statistics tab and click "Find all threads started by...", then select all and delete. You can only delete one page at a time, but if that's a problem you could temporarily increase the search results per page in the acp.

Or in the admincp > threads & posts > prune > go to bottom > Prune by Username

I'm pretty sure you can do more then one page at a time. But there's probably a limit on how many pages you should do at a time. Probably best to do it via Admin CP.

There is a limit of selecting 100 threads for inline moderation. For more than a handful of threads, the ACP option is the best bet.

I figured. But that would be more than one page.
