It would be nice if flagging a user as a spammer also deleted all PMs they've sent.

PM me and we can discuss this, I can definitely make a plugin that will do this.

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?

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).

Are you willing to pay for a plugin that will do that?

I don't know.

Thank you for the offer, but it's probably not that big of a deal for us. We just made registration more difficult by adding a new security question (seemed to work well on our previous forum).

Let me know if you ever need a plugin made... I'm always looking to make some!

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.
