Just an idea - stems from my just having deleted another 40-odd spam posts about shoes. Why is it alway f*&$ing shoes? Grrrr!!

Anyway..... please can we have a core function that will delete all posts/comment made under a specific uid?

One button.....ZAP!!

I agree in part. Some times users request account deletion and I have to ask them to delete their news entries, photos etc first. News have copyrights and I cannot have them as 'anonymous'.

Problem is that I should not do it in database. News have comments, tags, files, notifications, etc associated and deleting just the news items would leave a lot of trash.

I think that modules should provide an 'on_user_delete' function just has they do for 'on_install', 'on_uninstall'

But, this is not mandatory to be included in the core. A module could be built for this propose. I have the opinion that core should only handle what a module can´t.

I like this idea - much more elegant than my "Nuke the Ba$tard$" approach

+1 on this one. At least a function to select which comments to delete in one go.

Now i'm going to delete 300 comments one by one. Will take a hour or so :/

I just had to delete spam comments. So I did that in the database by searching the comments related to the userid, select them all and delete them. After that I searched for newsitems releated to the id (none) and then deleted the useraccount. So, some work but not the one by one proces...

I think it should be a core function (user management)
or at least a module
to erase all the comments from the selected user in all the modules.

I found such spams from registered "users" into all comment sections available (News, SmartSection, MyDownloads, MyLinks...) even with Protector 3.50 (but still with XOOPS 2.0.x not yet 2.4.x).

The core can't always provide for this user deletion, because every module has its own database tables where info posted by the user is stored.
Comments are a general function and there it could.

I will think about some PHP code to clean up comments per user.

I first tried the Tools module. But that was not what I was looking for. It's only good if you have many comments to approve.

But the comments_delete.zip hack was just what I wanted

Thank You mariane!
