Hello
I had a spammer spamming my forum all morning with hundreds of messages, and this anonymous,so I can't ban him.
But also, now I need to remove each spam message one by one, isn't there a way I can delete them all at once? I can't find how to do that, it would take hours of my time, thanks!

Go to The user Profile Page(in wpForo), press on "Dashboard Action", select "Delete in Dashboard", check "delete all wpForo Content" and press Confirm Deletion, by this way the user and all its data will be removed.

You can delete the post by bulk in Dashboard > Forums > Moderation > Published, Use the User Filter to find that user Topics and Post and delete them.

In case you want to say thank you 😊
