Closed accounts = deletion of all posts

Within minutes of joining and posting on this forum I noticed a large amount of closed accounts and their LQ posts making it difficult to sort through low quality posts to find real content. I've mainly experienced this in the BTC discussion area of the forum where there are multiple threads titled "y BiTcOiN s O hiGh" and half of those accounts are closed. I suggest that either all threads from closed accounts are deleted, or archived. Their replies to threads are not so much of a problem since they don't affect the overall quality of the whole section.

Understandable. Would make things cleaner for sure.

Yeah. The weird part is that a lot of those account don't seem to even be that old.

I've noticed that as well, closed accounts but they are relatively new to the forums, or at least haven't been around for a long time period.

This is already a core mybb feature and is used here sometimes. (Not sure if Aiko kept it in v3 but I think he did) it's called a purge and it removes their posts, threads, and rep and bans the account.

Should do it once a month honestly. It hurts to see so much spam posting and then you try to search through it all and can't find a single thing.

Does it happen right when they get banned or after a certain amount of time?

Yeah. All you do is click "purge user"
