Ghideon Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Are personal messages sent by a spammer left when their posts are removed and the account banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 If the account was Flagged as Spammer (as opposed to being banned for rules violations), I think everything goes away. It's a 2-click solution for blatant spammers. Hyper would know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I'm actually not 100% sure how it deals with PMs. I would have thought that those would have been hidden as well since that would fall under the umbrella of "content". However, we have spam posts set to be hidden rather than deleted and hiding posts isn't an option available even to me in PMs. I do know that if it does happen, it doesn't happen immediately. Posts get removed in batches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Posts that had no spam content at that time.) Note: This is not an issue of any kind, I just got curious how the mechanisms of the forum works.
