Do You Delete Spammers (And Their Posts)?

[Ndugu]

After you flag a spammer, do you also delete their posts? I get that users can't see these posts, but they still show up (in red) to the admins, which looks cluttered.

To each his own...

But what you should really be asking yourself here... How can you secure your registration system such that you do not get spammers and thus do not have to deal with such a problem to begin with....

There are a handful of topics on these forums with some guidelines on that configuration... I've not have a spam user on any of my boards in at least 2 years.

Thanks for the advice. We don't get a lot of spam, but had no idea we could reduce it to near zero.
