Ban user and delete all posts

[pmdpmd]

I am having big spam problems. Is there an option I can install to allow me to ban a user and delete all his posts by clicking a single button on his control panel or within the Admin section?

I am running version 3.6.4 - would upgrading to 3.7.4 (which would be a lot of work!) help me with my spam problems?

Many thanks,
Paul.

Yes, versions 3.7.0 and above have a extremely effective spam management tool. It maybe present in earlier versions, but i'm not 100% positive of that.

You'll be able to select a user/post and remove all posts and ban the user with 3 mouse clicks.

3.7.0 and above also has other anti-spam measures built in that help stop spam bots too.

Could you please show the steps to set in vBulletin 4.1 (latest edition)

What I need?

* When I delete a spam user, all his posts should be deleted right away, along with the spammer username.

Please post the steps to set option in ADMINCP.

Thanks,
Alex

In vB 3.x, it's one of the drop-down listed items. Delete posts, etc BEFORE deleting the member account.

Don't forget to delete PMs, too! Many spammers PM, not just spam threads.
