Is there a way to delete ALL of a member's posts and pm's?

We were majorly spammed overnight by a porno-queen 

I'd like to delete all 100 or so of his posts and the pm's he sent before I bring my forum out of maintenance mode. They're pretty slimy and my forum members won't be amused by it all.

Is there a way to do this? (other than one at a time - he posted in 100 different threads, and then to 300 different members!!)

Thanks.

when you delete the account you will be given the option to remove all the post the user has made .

Good! Yippeee!!

Do you know if it deletes all of their pm's also? :::crosses fingers:::

[Red-Omni]

im not sure about ... if you delete the account and once you find out if it deletes the PMs then i would like to know myself .. so please post your results .

It only deletes posts rather than PM's mainly because notifications will have been sent out already so would confuse people.

Yours best bet would be to run a query to update the body of the messages he sent with something like "Spam Message deleted by admin" or similar.
