Re: Notice Regarding Spam Posts
That may be in Admin Tools, Bigdog. It's been so long that I honestly don't remember.

Re: Notice Regarding Spam Posts
OK, I discovered a way to prune all threads by a specific user, and think I deleted all the spam posts in 15 minutes, lol.
For Mods, go to the forum where the offensive posts are, then click on "forum tools", then under admin tools, click on "mass prune threads." That takes you to the moderator control panel, then scroll down and under "other options" you can enter the user name, then hit the "prune threads" button. Problem solved! Yay! I'm sure they'll be back, but at least we can get rid of the threads quickly now. |

Re: Notice Regarding Spam Posts
Frank, have you been banning them also?
I now see that prune function in the moderator control panel where I already have been going to ban folks, search common IP addresses, etc. Had no idea what "pruning" was in this context, but I like it! |

Re: Notice Regarding Spam Posts
Yes, I banned them too, if they weren't already. It was quite satisfying when it asked "prune 486 threads?" Yes! LMAO! I didn't even look in the other forums. Thanks, harvey. Hopefully this helps to make up for my absence as a moderator, lol!

Re: Notice Regarding Spam Posts
I recently did another type of pruning, this new pruner made me feel like Rambo in my fig orchard: https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics/...type=3&theater
This "pruning" feature in the moderator control panel that bigdog discovered makes us the Rambo fighting spammers. |

Re: Notice Regarding Spam Posts
Just did my first thread pruning job, SO SATISFYING! 100 pots deleted in seconds. Not a permanent solution but definitely manageable for now.
Thank you Frank!!

Re: Notice Regarding Spam Posts
Thanks, everyone. I don't post much here because I really don't know enough to have much to say, but I'm definitely an avid reader, and the forum has allowed my banana gardening to go from a naive, haphazard dabble into a well-informed, successful obsession (my poor husband). I was crushed when I thought it might collapse from all the spam, and am thankful it is back. Thanks!!!
