How to delete all the messages of one member

<< < (2/4) > >>

perplexed:
If you go into the user's profile, there is an option there to delete user.  When you select that option, that is where you get the option to delete his posts or not.

As I said, if you want to ban them to prevent them coming back again, make sure to write down all their details before you do the "delete user" step above.  Then once you have deleted him and his posts, set up a new ban trigger with all the details you wrote down.

Hallo

Thank you for your reply !

I don't know why I can't find these option: when I click on members>ada...(the spammer)>delete, I get again to the "add a new banning" page which doesn't seem to give any option to delete messages...

name of the banning
reasons
notes
restriction

and so on and after deleting there"s no option either (but I can make the banning expire so do it again)

Thank you really.......

perplexed:
you should be looking in the member's profile

it should be something like this - replace the xxxxxxxxxx with your forum address and where it says u=xxxxxx this should be the member number of the user you want to delete.  (holding your cursor over their name will give you the number) This will take you to their profile where you will see the "delete this account" option and from there you have the option to delete all their posts or not :)

That was a really good idea, and it got me to the famous page...BUT SMF didn't delete the messages (and I had chosen to delete "all messages")

Well I suppose that was it, and I'll pass one night viewing real great images...............

But I would like to thank you, quiteperplexed, that was really nice (by the way, can I vote for anwers ?)
