Huge spam problem

[KaitenV]

For some months now I have been experiencing a major problem with user and bot spam. I now have thousands of threads to remove from select forums and wanted to know the fastest methods to do so.

Further more, my only anti spam is question and answer, which was changed from re captcha, 3 days ago.

For spam protection, read this thread, http://ozzmodz.com/showthread.php/506-The-Era-Of-Big-Spam-Is-Over.

There is no easy solution to mass delete the spam, unless there is some sort of commonality between the threads/posts, like username, title etc.

Use the pruning tool in the admincp. Be careful though because once you run the prune they are gone for good. Just be careful of what you select but deleting posts and threads from a certain forum should be easy.

Where is Max? He always likes to reply in these types of posts! :D
