Old and new forums alike are susceptible to spammers that can impede on the collaborating environment. Deleting a user in a phpBB forum is surprisingly easy and can be done with a minimum of trouble. Read on to find out how.
Log onto your phpBB forum as an administrator.
Locate the link to the Administrator Control Panel (ACP) and click on it.
Re-log in. Log in, again, with the same information as an admin.
Click on Manage users on the left side of the screen (usually). Depending on your forum theme, of course.
Get their name. If you know the name, type it in, if not, click on Find a member.
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen. You will see a list of the current members. Click on Select and Submit.
Find Quick Tools: At the very least, you will want to ban them by username. You might also want to ban them by IP.
Go to Delete users and then choose if you want to delete their posts as well and then choose Submit.
