svit Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hello, I have raised this request in the past, I would find very helpful if in ACP I could mass prune/delete validating spammers. It happened to me that the site is attached and I had to deal with manually deleting 200 spammers. Currently I don't see an option to select all records on a page and take a mass action with them. Would more members benefit from this feature? aia, MMXII and AlienDog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawPi Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 You could do that but it's quite tricky. 😉 Go to ACP members list and use search option but do not fill any field. You'll see something like this: Then click on BANNED and Prune Members Found:  That URL should be something like this one: https://boardurl.com/admin/index.php?app=core&module=members&controller=members&do=massManage&action=prune&members_name[0]=c&members_name[1]=&members_member_id[0]=any&members_member_id[1]=0&members_email=&members_ip_address=&members_joined[start]=&members_joined[end]=&members_last_post[start]=&members_last_post[end]=&members_last_activity[start]=&members_last_activity[end]=&members_posts[0]=any&members_posts[1]=0&filter=members_filter_banned&members_allow_admin_emails=a&members_field_6=&members_field_10=&members_field_5=&members_field_8=&members_field_1= As you can see there is this part: &filter=members_filter_banned& Which mean it would prune banned members.  Note: please MAKE SQL BACKUP FIRST!! svit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svit Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Thank you very much it seems to be a good work around! I would still vote for having something more intuitive as a native function for admins. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffielder Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Previously on that screen/section there would be a 'select all' option on the right, with tickboxes You could then just go down the list, check the tickboxes and press delete It's something that you could also use to mass approve registrations I really miss it. It was so useful as a timesaver aia and svit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone Plate Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Bumping this bad boy. Pages of spam accounts to delete one by one - with a drop down menu to boot. 😡 Why on earth is "delete" hidden in the drop down menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
