Accidentally removed all user posts (spam ban)

[Stormlilly]

Hi guys,

One of my Moderators accidentally banned a regular member using the SPAM ban function instead of applying a normal ban.

This removed over 300+ posts.

Is there a way to reverse this?  I thought the SPAM ban had a post limit to prevent this type of unintended use?

Can anyone offer a way to recover these posts?  

Thanks.

This is an easy mistake for a Moderator who is not super tech savy to make, I am wondering if this happens on other boards...

Hello,

Restore them for a backup database, if you don't have it you can't recover them once the posts are deleted. To prevent that modify the options in Members -> Spam Prevention -> Flagging Spammers.
