Check out the Comments module that is included with RavenNuke (not sure if you can download it separately).

sorry.. for dub post Sad

and thanks for your advice but that comment module is not what i looking for..
my forum now some time have poster they post random posts to many box forums and also reply to other post and their content have promotion or spam somethings

usually i have suspend that user, ban the website links of spam in their post, and ban or detect some words they using, then at last have delete one by one posts or reply..
but few days later other member come up then do some thing similar ..

i'm managing so big forums 120,000 member and this may be a good place for some one registed then spam, promote their products, event post virus links...

i have found one mod for phpbb which good for this
MOD enables admin to delete all user topics in these ways:
## 1. Delete User only (his - her topics and posts stay on board)
## 2. Delete User started topics and posts (even those of other users) in them
## 3. Delete User and All his (her) postings from board
## All stats of forums, users and topics posts are resynced consecutively

but this one need to ported to phpnuke .. i have tryed many time but not success cause my limited knowledge .. [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
hope you can modifi it then make it work with phpnuke with phpbb2

thanks very much

If you delete his membership from the administration menu (admin.php), it will also delete all his posts in the forum and your problem will be solved. This is not made from Forum Administration.

I always remove members via Edit Users in the Administration menu and it have always removed all forum posts of that member.

have you check the database .. i have test remove user from ACP then go to phpmyadmin looking for posts from that user .. the post still there but only not view able on forums..

Yes, i have done that many times and all forum posts from that user_id is gone. I think this is how it is supposed to work. If you remove the user only from nuke_users table and leave the forum posts left you can later get problems with pagination.

Actually, the posts are still there, from what I can recall, its just the user_id on them is changed to something else. Maybe that "something else" is what keeps them from showing up in the actual forums?

When you delete a user from Admin, all their posts remain in the forums. The users forum rank will change to "Guest".

You are probably going to have to come up with some SQL to do a mass delete like that.

Yes, you are absolutely right for PHP-Nuke 7.6 is it so now I have just checked, but when I used 7.2 all posts were deleted, when the user was deleted.
