Grumpy Chris is currently grumpy.
I have no way of deleting all posts by a user, and am starting to find out half the other mods have less rights than even I do. I can't sort it atm, am at work, will deal with it later hopefully.

No need to be grumpy Chris, no point in trying to stop a tidal wave.
Just let the place sink and find another venue.

Duvel needs to put in some custom captcha - enter the word "volvo300" or something similar.
If it's still mad after the weekend when I'm back, I've had experience on PHPBB2 forums in the past - I'll happily clear it all up and revoke my access afterwards.

I wrote a custom thing when this forum was on PHPBB2 to do just that bud, we never had a spam message.
FWIW, I can't give anyone any access, all of us mods have naff all in terms of being able to do anything, even the "delete all posts by this user" (which would remove the 4 pages in 4 mouse clicks) has been turned off for us.

I feel your frustration Chris.
It's the return of an old problem - not having the keys to the house.
Wiki didn't last long either before it was mega spammed

It's getting to the point where it's actually infecting posts now, not just creating threads. its ridooculous and frustrating.
