deleting 500 posts of spam user

[ketanco]

When i try to delete the posts of a spam user if it is more than 50 it tells me to go to control panel

i dont want to do it as it takes time, so how and where can i modify this 50 number to say 500? support told me to come to this forum to do that

FYI note: when i asked this to support, they told me to go to control panel first but then they said there is a bug and it can not be done in control panel and i must go to user about page and delete all his posts from front end 25 each time max, which is very time consuming if there is a lovely spam bot which posted 500 posts

Check /inlinemod.php around line 1083 and 1364, look for

PHP Code:

$show['prevent_userselection'] = ($user['post_count'] > 50 AND empty($vbulletin->GPC['useraction'])); 


and

PHP Code:

if (intval($user_check['total']) <= 50) 


And change the numbers.
Just keep in mind vBulletin had its reasons for limiting it to 50.

It's a server intensive process. You could lock up the server or database.

And some servers will give you an error if you try to delete more than 1000 at a time.
