Hello - I get a LOT of spam users. There are over 30,000 users. Is there a way to quickly delete all the unapproved users and clean the database?
Second question: is there some way to stop all the spam new user accounts. Phorum constantly tells me there are unapproved users and I don't have time everyday to go through hundreds of spam accounts and delete them all by checking checkboxes.
Thanks,

Hi Mike60,
Go to Phorum Administration, Edit Users, select corresponding "User status and status", optional change to "250 users per page", search, Check all, Delete selected users.
Do you use the following modules?
- Spam Hurdles (core module)
- Stop Forum Spam Module
Especially the Stop Forum Spam Module is very useful.

Hi Mike,
in that case you can also delete the corresponding users directly in the database (carefully!).
