Post Remover

Minimum Requirements:
phpBB 2.0*
PHP 4.1.0

Page Updated: Sep 07, 2006

Some forum administrators prefer to move problem posts into a hidden forum rather than deleting them. This provides a record of the offense if evidence is necessary later, perhaps in legal matters. It is a good practice for protecting one's self against abusive former members.

This handy accessory was designed for such purposes. Say there is a need to remove all the posts of a member, but that person has 500 posts, including topics and replies. Want to select all of those one at a time? I didn't think so. Enter the member's username in Post Remover, and it will move all of those topics and replies for you.

If spammers are flooding your forum, double team them with Private Message Remover and you'll wipe them out in no time.

The kind members of the phpBBHacks.com community liked this hack so much that it was selected as Hack of the Year.

Additional Notes

* This add-on is expected to function on any phpBB 2.0.x release. Since no editing of core files is involved, the chance of problems due to phpBB version differences is low.
