Thanks guys! I killed a bunch this morning. There's no need to tag us in each spam post by the same spammer. All I need is one, and I can use the "spam cleaner" tool to ban the user and delete all of their posts at once. Or, just use the report button once for each spammer.

Now I need to figure out how to get back the actual member that I accidentally banned and cleaned...

In my opinion, the reason for doing is the same as walking through a parking lot, dragging a key down the side of a real nice car and giggling the whole time. Then you go to your friends and everyone brags about how many cars they keyed.

I suspect that is a result of blocking someone who replied to a spam post.
Nope, I accidentally banned a real user from the site. The cleaner tool deletes all of their post, comments, photos, likes, etc. I've been able to unban the user, but need @Michael to find if there's a way to get any of the other stuff back. I've cleaned several hundred spammers over the years here, but never came close to deleting an actual member before! ::shame::

No hard feelings Steve. It happens. Glad you got rid of the spammer!
