I'm needing delete ALL THE POST and MESSAGES from one user (this is a supposed case) and it can take me a lot of time to make it. Why i can need to do this? Because if a abusive user log in on my forum just for post over and over bad messages or trash messages (flood), then i will need a tool for eliminate quickly and easy all their post (after ban him) to discourage a new intent from other user (or the same, with other nick name and e-mail acount) making him notice that their intents are futiles .I think that if today one abusive user want give me a headache, posting thrash a certain time, then this action can easily overload the moderation task, as this annoying user wanted .

Please... sorry if my english is not good enough to explain my point, and tell me please, how i can avoid this supposed trouble if a user want disturb the threads in a forum. On the other hand, i found the gossamer forum hard to flood with trash messages, and see a very good system for avoid repetitive messages and post. This is the best value as i'm opting for the implementation of this forum .

Thanx in advance.

I think you can just delete the user from your admin panel, and it will delete all the posts from that user.

If I remember correctly, deleting a user will not delete all the posts from that user (it's not like deleting a forum...).

I'm agree that it would be really great and useful to have this kind of feature!

Amen! I just had this situation a few days ago, and when the posts are the equivalent of 5 pages long it's a REAL pain.

Hi Ivan!

Sorry, but deleting the user from admin panel, leave all the post and messages in the forum . Do you think that manipulate the mysql database can give a way to do this?

Thanx.

I thought it would be automatic, but it really isn't, my fault. Here's what you can do to make it automatic:

Make the 'user_id_fk' field in the Post table a foreign key to the 'user_id' field in the User table. I don't know if you can do that from mysqlman or not. Plus, you would have to add something like the following into the Post.def file, under the 'fk' heading:
I don't recommend any of this if you don't know exactly what you are doing. Don't tell me I didn't warn you if things go wrong. Jason certainly has his reasons for not making it automatic.

Alteratively, use sql monitor to issue an sql command that does the above.
