ronbo2000? Old soft deleted Spam post

[Dave Blake]

Some of the forums are filling up with old soft deleted spam posts like these:

This is simply not acceptably for someone with my level of OCD. lol Can I permanently delete the older spam posts like one week or older and get this stuff cleaned up. I know that other users cant see these post but they are driving me crazy. :brick:

If you do, we lose history of the source IP. I don't ban IP right away depending on occurence. I understand the frustration but it is the caveats of the being a moderator.

Please bear with me on this. It is not an easy task if you clean up and I had to do a forensic trace of what happened.

Big D,

Were those post moderated when you deleted them?

 

[Dave Blake]

Most of them were, every once in a while I come across one that's not but I would say about 95% say Moderated

Ok, thanks ... now I have got to get caught up. Remember we are doing this for our users. I hope you can bear with the inconvenience.

Big D,

I have a suggestion for you. Can you move those deleted post to this forum: http://forums.wmexperts.com/forumdisplay.php?f=247

That way you have a clean forum and leave the forensics for me. You don't have to leave a redirect.
