Quick way to clean the memberlist

Sometimes many spammers register our forums in a few hours; if we do not delete them immediately, we could find our memberlists full of spammers who add links to their profiles which violate ForumUp's Term of Service.
There is an Add-on, named Greasemonkey, which allow us to quickly delete members from the memberlist, instead of deleting them one-by-one.

Exclamation Greasemonkey works only with Firefox. It does not work with other browsers like Explorer, Opera, etc.

Arrow Download Greasemonkey from Firefox Add-ons page:
Only registered users can see links on this forum!
Register or Login on forum!



Arrow Run Greasemonkey and install this script:

Only registered users can see links on this forum!
Register or Login on forum!

. It should auto-install into Greasemonkey.

Arrow Go to Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Greasemonkey -> Options -> Enabled Pages and add one by one the following lines:

Code:
http://YOUR FORUM LINK/memberlist.php*
http://YOUR FORUM LINK/admin/index.php*
http://YOUR FORUM LINK/admin/admin_users.php*
http://YOUR FORUM LINK/memberlist.php*
http://YOUR FORUM LINK/admin/index.php*
http://YOUR FORUM LINK/admin/admin_users.php*


Replace YOUR FORUM LINK with the link to your forum, such as

Only registered users can see links on this forum!
Register or Login on forum!

.

Arrow After log in in the forum and in the admin panel, if you look at the memberlist, you should see a little box and "Delete" + the number of the member at the left side of each username


Only registered users can see links on this forum!
Register or Login on forum!



Arrow Choose users you want to delete selecting the box "Delete"; double check that you have selected ONLY MEMBERS YOU WANT TO DELETE DEFINITIVELY, then click "Delete Checked".

Exclamation BE CAREFUL: after clicking "Delete Checked" it is not possible to stop.

Then Greasemonkey starts to delete the selected profiles.
You will see the page of each selected profile alternating in the admin panel, as it deletes the selected members. Let Greasemonkey work and do not touch the admin panel.

Idea Greasemonkey deletes members but it does not delete their posts.

The aim of this guide is to facilitate the deletion of spammers from the memberlist.
