my MOJO allows me to remove stuff --
but only retail, one at a time

there's no way i can even try removing hundreds

i'm trying a PM to Nhernandez,
hoping he can get it deleted wholesale (via SQL)

can you shut down future messages with one click?

yeh, at 30 secs per thread, that would be 5+ hours of effort
give me temporary moderator privileges and I'll help

any html point/click session can be scripted
that's how g.r.emlin is coded

can you delete only posts, or can you also delete topics?
if topics, do they have to be empty to delete?

click on the desired Topic
scroll down to reach the Moderator's toolbar (set of 4 buttons) --
click the first button on left
see an "Are you sure?" --
click Yes

Pat, probably wishful thinking, but is there a backup system that would allow you to back up a day or two?

by **Pat** » Wed May 13, 2009 3:06 pm

i suppose an Admin (not me!)
could go back to an earlier version

( we do hope they run weekly backups or something,
against a catastrophe )

we'd be losing some unknown amount of posts
( depends on how far back the backup is )

if we can get an Admin to intervene,
i'd much rather they use SQL
for a bulk-delete of those Topics authored by bober

Hopefully, but I don't expect that will happen.

and what if Nhernandez has vanished?

Nhernandez was logged in yesterday shortly before someone nuked the spammer.

The name of the latest registrant ... OnlineOrder ... doesn't bode well.

[edit: In 10 minutes IT has 13 spams. Somebody DO something, or there'll be another 600 droppings to shovel.]

Pat
can you pm me the html source of the page that deletes a topic
pick one of the bober or onlineorder topics
disable html,bbcode,smilies in that post
thanks
