Moto, this will be one for you. :?

I just logged on and discovered ~35 posts of spam in various sections (all from the same user.)

I quickly discovered that the "Moderator Control Panel" isn't available on the most useful pages for mass deleting such problem posts. eg. bring up all the user's posts - no mod control panel, so can't delete them from that page; "view new posts" - no mod control panel so can't delete them from that page either. I ended up needing to go into each sub subsection where the posts were, then the Mod Control Panel would appear and could be used to select and delete them.

A bit of a PITA. Perhaps it was a finger problem at my end?

(Perhaps the other mods might have a better idea on how I could have done it quicker?)

Nah, you need admin access to do that, and even then it can be a little confusing. Just send me the username name next time.

If someone has made a lot of posts I really should look at it anyway. The last two people you banned were based out of china.

At least it wasn't finger trouble at my end then :lol: , I was thinking "there has to be an easier way...."

That "user" had certainly gone berserk in a short period of time.
