    When you delete the spammers accounts, you can flag that all their posts are deleted in one go.
    Saves having to go through the dozens of individual posts in their history.

    Good luck, this onslaught might require an all-nighter. :shock:

    Unfortunately moderators are not able to delete accounts.
    We basicly remove the posts and ban the users.

    Well, if the problem remains as bad as this evening, you guys may want to ask Nadeo for the tools to fight the problem effectively -- e.g. forum permission for the above.
    Better prevention (through captchas and what have you) for the spammers to get in in the first place would also be a Good Ideaâ„¢.

    That's right, also Nadeo admin guys have acknowledged, but they also have "promised" a change of the forum after MP3 release... :?

    Prevention has been proposed for quite some time and is planned, but doesn't seem to be a priority :|
