Prune Option
« on: July 27, 2010, 12:35:24 am »
I got the idea from a forum site I was visiting the other day.
It was getting spammed out of control where posts were adding up fast.
I figured it would take a while for one moderator to clean it all up, and I began to worry about what I would do if I found my forum trashed with posts.

In forum maintenance, there could be a Prune option that allows you to delete every post that meets a certain criteria based on these.

All posts made by a specific username
All posts made by a specific IP Address
All posts made in a specific date/date range
All posts in a board/section
All posts containing a specific phrase

And any combination of the above, such as All posts made by a specific username and a specific IP address, for posts made by a hacked account, so that posts by the original member wouldn't be deleted.

Oh wow nice idea! Not only does this sound good for SMF For Free but it sounds like it would be a great addition to the software itself!
