I don't know if Mods can already do this, but how about they have the option to delete all posts by a user? Someone like Dalll would make life living hell for the mods here if they have to through and delete each post individually.

I think having the ability to delete every post by a user would do more harm than good. Unless trolls have been banned by the Council, any sensible posts they make won't be deleted (that's providing they do actually make a sensible post). If we deleted all posts by a user, it would wipe out any potential non-troll posts they have and with them all the replies to those posts by other members.

Mod deletion already is pretty easy though - the mod panel has a section showing posts in reverse chronological order. If a troll goes on a rampage, all we have to do is delete all their posts from that page - it's pretty simple already! We can delete many posts in the time it takes a troll to post once. It's not like we have to go through the forums hunting down each individual post by the user!

Oh, I thought that you have to go to each forum post and manually delete every single one like that.

Nope, fairly easy process! I wasn't trying to be modest when I said "don't make a thread thanking me" haha, it actually is pretty easy. Each post does have an individual delete button, but if you get someone like Dalll and need to delete multiple posts at once the Moderation tab is really handy.
