With a click of a \nbutton, you can delete all the posts created by spammer accounts and prevent anyone from\nlogging into an account that you have clobbered.

Click \nthis new \"Clobber Spam\" link and you will see a page that puts the most recently created \nuser names next to the email address and the title of the most recently created post by \nthat user. You can check a box next to the users you believe are spam and click a button \nto delete all their posts and prevent them from logging in ever again.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Why not just delete the users?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Because the software these spammers use will try to submit more than one post for each \naccount, sometimes days later. If you delete the user, the same user name can be \nrecreated. By keeping the user and changing the password and email address, we prevent \nthat account from being used. The spam software is forced to create a new account to \ncontinue bothering us. Also, I already use a really good plugin to delete old and unused \nuser accounts. It is called <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/inactive-user-deleter\/\">Inactive User Deleter<\/a> by shra and I regularly \nuse it to delete users with no posts and no comments that are at least 6 months old.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Can this process of deleting spam post submissions be automated?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>I would love to build the \"akismet for posts\" because I could make a lot of money selling \nit.
