No problem :D

I'll be working on the updated version to allow multiple additional usergroups to use it as well...seems I finally need to learn how to process arrays properly in MySQL...

Congratulations RaidenDAWG2 on porting this to 3.5. I originally requested this hack and I'm very happy to see it resurrected for the latest version.
Can I please make one query/suggestion? The original also left an optional entry in the user's profile notes with the title and note specified by admin.
We keep notes on banned users to explain why they were expelled. The original Spam Kill hack did that automatically as well. Is this facility included as it isn't in the feature list? If not, could you consider adding it, please?
Many thanks.

I've created a standard Spam button which I thought I would share if RaidenDAWG2 doesn't mind

Much better than my original five second photoshopped version, nice work man :)

As for your suggestion, I definitely could throw that in the next release (when I originally worked on this, I had no clue how to approach user notes...now I do...benefit of four additional months of programming in vB I guess ;)).

At this point, announcing the eventual release (read: probably by the end of break) of Spam Decimator 1.1, with the following additional features:

-Ability to permit additional usergroups access
-Delete a spammer's PM's as well
-Add a user note to a user's record

Also, I'd be happy to take suggestions for things I haven't thought of/had suggested to me yet ;)

Oooo feature wish list! Cool.
Ok, the original spam killer appended all the posts by the spammer to a particular thread (the thread ID was specified). And if he was the thread starter, all the replies to the thread were deleted.
This seems like a sensible option because it means fewer threads in the spam pit. Also the replies to spam threads are usually by members telling the spammer to 'f off' etc and so can be deleted.
Thanks!

Kinda had to compromise that a little in my original design. On the one hand, all spammer started threads are deleted (and there's an option to move them to a specified forum, which kinda replaced the spam pit if you will), on the other, any posts a spammer makes can be deleted (it's an option), but they aren't moved due to moving a single post from a thread to another (at least in my view) was a. a pain in the rear end (and a royal one at that) and b. not really all that useful (at least when I was thinking of how this would be used on my own site anyways).

Thx for this nice plugin.

I have a problem.
I have set a forum as spam trash that is in my admin forums which only can be accessed from admins. I entered the id and activated move to forum but the threads were not moved to the forum.

Congratulations, you've run Spam Decimator
Adios Spammer, spammer banned

Any suggestions?

Definitely needs an undo feature, or a setting that makes sure that people with over X amount of posts can't be spam killed. God damnit, it just happened to one of my best posters and it's a PITA to fix.

Agreed. If the user has, say, more than 20 posts, an 'Are you sure?' message would be a good safety feature.

I'll add that to my to-add list...sorry guys, my own site's been taking up most of my programming time (and school the other three quarters) so...it'll get done eventually...
