A new user spammed us yesterday with 42 spam posts!!!
I mistakenly deleted that user (instead of banning the user) and now I cannot get to the pruning feature so I am deleting all 42 posts one by one ...
Is there a way to still prune these spam posts?
If you know the uid of the person run the following in PHPMyAdmin
DELETE FROM mybb_posts WHERE uid=x
Then run
DELETE FROM mybb_threads WHERE uid=x
Replace x with the uid of the member.
If you only know the username use the following 2 queries instead:
DELETE FROM mybb_posts WHERE username='x'
DELETE FROM mybb_threads WHERE username='x'
Replace x with the username. Note that the username must be enclosed in single quotes.
If you do not remember either, you can get the uid from the Admin log because it will say Deleted User #x (username).
After doing one of those, go to the Admin CP->Tools->Recount & Rebuild-> Rebuild Thread Counters. After that, Rebuild Forum Counters.
