Thomas K. Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It would be nice if flagging a user as a spammer also deleted all PMs they've sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me and we can discuss this, I can definitely make a plugin that will do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas K. Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 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).

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).

Tom Irons Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Let me know if you ever need a plugin made... I'm always looking to make some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 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.
