Webmaster (Sam) has risen from the grave and made me and David Horn moderators.
I was able to ban Dazdraste, who has posted almost 100 spam messages
in the last couple of days. I was able to go through the extremely
tedious process of deleting a couple of his posts individually, but I
was unable to delete more than one at a time, even though a moderator
is supposed to be able to do that. Either I'm missing something, or I
don't have permission to do that. So after deleting two of his posts,
I gave up in disgust. Perhaps David Horn would like to try in case I
missed something.
Sam said that he will clean things up over the weekend, presumably
doing mass deletions. Given that one spammer can post dozens of spam
messages a day, I hope he plans to stick around permanently.
While I've only been a moderator with different message board software, I've been able to delete entire threads by deleting the first post in the thread, and I've been able to delete all a poster's posts by checking a box to do so when banning the poster. That may not work here, but they might be things to check.
