    Hi,

    Still running 1.6 but when I delete users I would also like to delete their comments simultaneously.  That doesn’t seem to be the default action, any way to change/force this?

    Regards,

    Hi stefaandk,

    I’m afraid there isn’t a setting to enable auto-deleteion of a users comments. What is the issue you are trying to solve? Are you experiencing spammers, or just looking to manage your legitimate members?

    In this particular case it was spam yeah, I have been deleting things manually and I think I closed the loopholes for spam registrations but would love to delete the garbage users/comments that currently exist still.

    Sounds like I will have to look into an SQL command for this.

    Thanks

    This certainly sounds like an opportunity to make a Feature Request!

    But for now, it seems that SQL may be the most expedient option for you. Is there anything else we can assist you with?

    Cheers!
