Re: Link to oooforum
Yeah, even when I build an iMacro to remove a single post based on a hard coded URL, oooforum is so slow, that it fails to respond in 60 seconds after saying yes, remove that like I asked and then the macro itself stops running. I set the timeout to 10 minutes, will see if that is sufficient. That said, when the forum is so slow, hardly seems worth the effort.

Re: Link to oooforum
I am looking at iMacro, thanks for the suggestion. My initial attempts this morning have failed because it seems to want a concrete starting URL. So, when I recorded a script to delete the currently displayed spam, what it really recorded was navigate to the current URL, now do what you want. Looks like I can probably set the search URL, try to scrape all of the results, and then I can probably use those results to navigate to each found SPAM message and delete it. That would at least allow me to remove a chunk at a time. If that works, then I can expand the macro. I suppose that a first step would be search, remove the first found. I could then rinse and repeat but it would be much faster to scrape all results first. It can take up to 60 seconds to delete a single spam (because the forum can run slow). Do you think that I would have better luck automating with greasemonkey? I suppose that would be a reason to learn JavaScript. I mean, I have used JavaScript, but I would not say that I know Java Script. I know many languages, and when you know a bunch of languages already, and you need to simply make a change to existing code with a mostly standard syntax (ie, it is not something odd ball like APL), it does not take much to make minor bug fixes.

The forum is currently hosted on machines that prevent him from granting admin rights to the forum proper and I assume that he does not have things properly virtualized to allow sufficient access to update the forum proper (and no time to make this happen). The problem with fighting the spam is that the moderators and admins are fighting spammers that can compromise the old forum software at will so with a volume of spam bots posting at will, it is a losing battle. The owner told me on the phone that he was willing to do something about this (like allow a transfer, or help, or something), but I understand that he was not responsive when he was contacted again. When I last called him just to see if he was alive (really, I thought he might have died), he was surprised that the site had not been functional in about a month and said that he had not seen my email to him. For all I know, it was auto-filtered to spam. I was just looking at the site, and, the first spammer listed had over 500 spams posted. The only way I have to remove spam is one thread at a time. So, I would need to spend at least an hours (if I were able to remove 1 thread every 6 seconds manually). That is a single spammer / user. It would be more doable if I were able to simply remove every message from a specific user, but I don't have that ability.

Re: Link to oooforum
More accurately, the owner is generally non-responsive (he is really busy and does not have much time for a hobby forum). The forum is currently hosted on machines that prevent him from granting admin rights to the forum proper and I assume that he does not have things properly virtualized to allow sufficient access to update the forum proper (and no time to make this happen). The problem with fighting the spam is that the moderators and admins are fighting spammers that can compromise the old forum software at will so with a volume of spam bots posting at will, it is a losing battle. The owner told me on the phone that he was willing to do something about this (like allow a transfer, or help, or something), but I understand that he was not responsive when he was contacted again. When I last called him just to see if he was alive (really, I thought he might have died), he was surprised that the site had not been functional in about a month and said that he had not seen my email to him. For all I know, it was auto-filtered to spam. I was just looking at the site, and, the first spammer listed had over 500 spams posted. The only way I have to remove spam is one thread at a time. So, I would need to spend at least an hours (if I were able to remove 1 thread every 6 seconds manually). That is a single spammer / user. It would be more doable if I were able to simply remove every message from a specific user, but I don't have that ability.
