slick im gonna go ad look at adding a few things to th registration process or do whatever we need to do to stop the spam (especially with all the new forums and such)

Can that one touch clean and ban thing make the threads completely deleted as apposed to 'soft deleted'?

Yes , i asked Slick for it a few week back as a spammer stuck 20 messages up at once and it was a ball ache cleaning up !
Anyway , it works a treat.....

It does work well Winrew but i just noticed that the deleted posts were still visiable (with the 'manage' option next to it) I dont know if they are only visiable to mods and admin but it would be eaier i suppose to just completely dleete the posts instead of leaving them lying (as i dont like looking at them

)

How many pm's does your mail box take Winrew? i think it could be 60. If so that sounds a bit small in this day and age and i will look at bumping it up to a more managable 200 lie me. (mine just mount and mount

)

Should posts or threads be permanently deleted? Setting this option to "no" will soft delete.

well that sorted my initial prob out. Tryin got find them two hacks above as i was sure we had them. I think we will see a lot less spam now though Winrerw

I think Mods had 200 , ive deleted it down to 33 and its still saying its 100% full.
Yes , i logged in and out to see if that worked and it didnt.

mmmmm Have you deleted the SENT items too Winrew?

I aint in the pm's box much but i think you have to change something to delete all of whats in there. i think it caught me out once too. See how that goes.

**Winrew** · #9 (**permalink**) 28-04-2008, 12:02

Aye , i deleted the sent ones as well Komp.

**kompressaur** · #10 (**permalink**) 28-04-2008, 12:04

Shit thats not the answer i was hoping to hear Winrew

I'll go have a look abou the net to see if anyone else has had this prob as it looks like a bugger.
