Private Messaging?

[Haben]

Recently, someone has been using a VPN and registering multiple accounts on my forum. He sent mass PM's to all my members with phishing links. I've told them all not to click on any links received through PM but is there any way I can delete all the messages of someones forum account OR disable HTML in Private Messages from a membergroup?

Code Select Expand

DELETE FROM smf_personal_messages WHERE ID_MEMBER_FROM = '2'

Replace the number 2 at the end with the ID of the member who spamed everyone.

This will delete all the PM's from that user. As a side note, you should probably setup permissions so that the newbie group can't send PM's up until they reach the next post based group. This will keep people from being able to spam before they get a certain post count which you can control.

BBC can't be turned off per user, so you'd be turning it off for everyone if you did that.
