I am wondering what is going on. I have my board setup to moderate new posts from new users. In October, I noticed a user posting multiple spam posts. (I have teh question/challenge on registration, which has all but eliminated bots.)
I deleted the user but cannot delete the posts. My question is - where are the posts located? They don't seem to exist anywhere in the database.
I did find this topic - which was partially helpful.

Please describe your problem. I have some posts in the moderator queue, which I cannot delete. I have searched the database for them, but they don't exist. They are all spam and I have since deleted the user.
I looked at this topic -
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=2123385 - which appears to describe the same issue. The post id doesn't exist in the database. In fact, I don't even see a topic table anymore.
Maybe if I knew where these posts are being stored it would help.
TIA!
