I posted this in the wrong section,
earlier sorry about that.

Some spammer has posted loads of topics with pop ups on my forum: www.talktalk.1talk.net
I have made it so people cant view it at the moment because I didnt know what else to do.

Is there anyway of deleting ALL posts by ONE user??

Please help.
Otherwise ill just delete all the posts and itll all be wasted Sad

Anyone?..

Yeah but what about the posts already made? You cannot access them as a pop up comes up straight away. O dear

All you can do is delete them.

Make the time like 1 min so that its harder for the spammer to spam and or ban IP, email.

The spammer has probably used a proxy IP and you cannot access the posts as a POP UP COMES UP like 100000000000 times. oh my.. :l

Okay this is what you need to do

Admin Panel>>User & Groups>>Click on Admin Activate new User>>Save

This will send you an email saying a new user is trying to register and its waiting for your request. This will make it harder for the spammer to continue to post and make new accounts.
