Hey guys running v7.02.03 on my site www.w124-zone.com but spam keeps going nuts.

I have reCaptcha enabled but I now have 2000 articles submitted that are SPAM.
How can I even mass delete 2000 individual article submissions?

Anything I can do to stop these spam article, forum posts and article comments from getting through?

Greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

I just put in a custom security question registration addon and I am still getting 3-4 users registering per day and spamming.

Anything else I can do?

Use your own questions and answers, something like "My site name?" or something new.

Alright changed the questions to something more difficult and I haven't had anything in the last few days so hopefully that's it...

How can I delete all 2400 article submissions? Is there something I can remove from the SQL databases?
Deleting all 2400 manually will take literally 6hrs+

REALLY!

Since the shoutbox is an infusion, this line $result = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_SHOUTBOX." WHERE shout_name='".$userdata['user_id']."'"); is removed from footer.php

$result = dbquery("DELETE FROM ".DB_SHOUTBOX." WHERE shout_name='".$userdata['user_id']."'");

There should be a hook for infusions to take care of this sort of thing. Perhaps in v8 and for now a fix in v7.

Feel free to submit this.

Deleting the user does not remove submitted pending articles.

Whats the next course of action?

The new version of v8 Would be useful to do a background check for the administrator before publishing comments yet. To be done in the Settings - Other settings opportunity to choose publishing comments. This is similar realized in this mod "Admin Onaylı Yorumlar" - http://www.phpfusionturkiye.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=4370&pid=32978#post_32978
