   You can use the Mass Delete Users plugin to delete spammers:

   This is similar, and lets you delete the spam messages themselves:

   Are the 100 people real users, or are they using a bot?

   Did you activate Askimet? In my forums it filters away 99.9% of spam. I think that allowing the inclusion of <img> is always a bad idea.

   @johnhiler, yes, these are real people. they post very very nasty child porn pics, animal sex and stuff, i almost puke when deleting those posts one by one.

   Is there away to delete the post pics without even looking at it? I believe they will come back. I banned almost 100 ip address yesterday, and theres another 2`new members coming today, posting another horrible porn pics and nasty comments.

   @zaerl, I already activated askimet, but these are real human coming from other forum attacking the girls in my forum, they (boys) claimed from ebaumsworld forum, i have no idea what that is.

   thanks

   Preventing real people from posting objectionable stuff is going to require some sort of moderation. For the time being, you might want to stop allowing images. Secondly, you might want to install the Approve Registration plugin:

   Check on page 3 for a comment with a later version available for you.
