Here's my dilema, If I have someone post spam at my forum in a new thread, I just ban them and then delete the post, no problem. Here is the problem, If someone posts spam into a thread that has already been posted and I ban them and delete their post I lose the whole thread, even if they were the last poster in the thread. I really need to solve this problem as the forum is losing a lot of valuable information that are in these threads, and I'm a little irritated. If I just ban the author it is supposed to ban them and all their posts. I've tried this and the posts still remain. Does it take some time for the banned users posts to be removed? Also is there any way I can retrieve the threads that have been accidentally removed from the forum due to me deleting the spammers posts? This is the only problem I'm having with my Nabble forum, everything else is great.
Thanks,
Gary
