mass delete blogs? I hope there is a better way than just deleting one at a time :confused:

Do you mean spammers are posting in the blogs?

Same problem as your earlier post back on the 20th? If so I would suggest you also post over on vbulletin.com.

Unfortunately, I could not find a super simple solution for you. It would have been nice if a check-box was included in the admincp on entries and categories to mas delete.
if you look at 'do=deleteentry' and 'do=killentry' in "admincp/blog_admin.php". It looks to me that it would not take much coding to set some conditions and delete blog entries in a loop. You might have to do something similar to blog category entries if that is an additional problem.
I have read entries about pruning blog tables, but unless you really know what you are doing then old data gets left behind. So I am not going to recommend any or those methods, as I am not any kind of expert on the blog system. I would want a definitive answer from @vBulletin themselves on this matter.
If you do have some defined conditions then I would help you with some code kludge that would clean up the mess.
You do have my sympathy on this one. :)

Might be easier to uninstall and reinstall the blog, to be completely honest.
