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

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.
