Posted April 6, 20169 yr It would be nice if flagging a user as a spammer also deleted all PMs they've sent.

April 6, 20169 yr Since you can't hide PMs it would have to be part of this setting or a separate delete setting. Delete content submitted already Deleted content cannot be recovered. Note that once deleted, it is deleted. And if your members or mods flag someone by mistake with thousands of posts (or PMs) oops.

Does that actually delete all the PM's too?
April 7, 20169 yr Author That's a good question. I would like my moderators to be able to flag spammers, but not have all of the flagged user's content deleted, except for PMs. What if a moderator goes crazy? All that content will be gone. PMs, on the other hand, would not that be a big deal. To permanently delete those would be desired (since it's not like you can hide a PM).

April 7, 20169 yr You can also have a new registrant group that has limited permission until, say, 5 posts, restricting things spammers are likely to do like PM etc. On post 6 they are promoted. to your regular Members group.
