my forum recently suffered from this how can i fix this tried individual delete and posts and topics but lot of accounts with 2 or 3 posts
Suffered from what exactly?
Is it spam posts you mean if so a search for an antispam mod will be required.
What is the link to your forum?
http://forum.airtet.in/index.php
i have installed anti spam link mod already
From what I remember the only way these can be removed is via the cpanel or individually.
anti-spam link mod will stop the links, but will not stop the spam.

as for deleting the members... you can group delete the members - however, this will not delete their posts.
So, either delete the members one, by one, and delete their posts with them
or
Delete the members in bulk
then go to the boards and delete the posts in bulk.
how to delete members bulk i tried to remove all newbies but not done except my 4-5 accounts all of are spam with their posts
go to the memberlist in smf admin
you can sort by date, by posts, etc... check the checkbox to the right for the members you want to remove and then select "remove" from the drop down at the bottom.
there is no check box to select members
index.php?action=admin;area=viewmembers;sa=all
there most certainly is...
index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0;desc
i founded check box here
index.php?action=admin;area=viewmembers;sort=posts;desc
if i delete members how can i group that individual posts posted by them
Quotethen go to the boards and delete the posts in bulk.
