Why isn't there a way to delete all posts by a user?
There is! When you delete a user account, it gives you the option. Sorry I haven't been on top of this, due to stress I've been having to take things a little easier and that's of course when shit goes down on here. I think maybe I'll just put the new forum system up instead, if no one is against it, and slowly fix the little things there over time.

Oh, I didn't know there was a way to delete the accounts, I've just been banning them all this time!
I'm all for the new forums going up now, no objections from me

I meant to say this a while ago, but you should look into installing Akismet. It's an anti-spambot service, and it works pretty well. In addition to my own security measures for my own forum (requiring post attempts to have a valid domain referrer), Akismet has been a great help.

Thanks for the suggestion. I should just have disabled registration until I got the ReCAPTCHA working. It works now, and hopefully the ReCAPTCHA alone should keep bots out of this place. If not, Akismet is my next stop.
Edit: Akismet doesn't seem to be an available add-on for ElkArte but there are some other suggested options like Bad Behavior and question/answer challenges.
@Fat Cerberus
, thanks for keeping the place clean.
