Mass removal of uploaded content.

[OFC Ranger]

Good Morning,

I wanted to inquire if its possible to remove any upload content (ie attachments) en masse by a specific user with your forum software. I know capabilities vary from platform to platform.

Jack:

Not a definitive answer, but it appears the answer is no, there is not (short of deleting/banning an entire account - there is an option there to delete all posts, which I would assume would delete all attachments as well):

Thanks for reply. Is a user able to requests all posts be deleted? I know some forums are hesitant because of abnormalities in how it impacts other unintended areas (quoted content, post counts, thread counts) - but its been a while since Ive checked in to such matters, probably 15+ years I have no idea how forum software has evolved since those days.

That would have to be a request to the admin - mods don't have privs like that other than completely banning an account and deleting all posts by that account- at least not that I'm aware of.

Maybe @AzScorpion knows of something I'm not aware of.

You're right Rob the Admin is the only one who can do this in mass blocks. I've had a few message me about this before and I never found a way to do this either.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Jack, I'm not sure why you'd want to do this anyway, unless you wanted to delete your account here. What am I missing?

I will send you a private message. Posting my thoughts here will just give the optics of playing the victim card which is not my intention.
