I get swamped with spam under Challengers. I had that before and after deleting hundreds of them I thought I had turned it off.
I just found out I still get spammed. Thousands! Deleted for the last 2 hours or so and still not even scratched the surface.
I have searched here but all I find is "old". I have v3.5.1
1) is it possible to delete all in mass?
2) what i can do to prevent this in the future
Thanks for all your help and suggestions!

It is likely they have written a script and future dated it. We have seen a lot of this in news items as well. I have found the only successful way is to delete them from the actual tables, and any suspicious users too without any user ids.
why is nothing ever easy?

How do I do that? Can you walk me through? I am not an php (or what) ever expert at all.

Assuming you have a traditional hosting company/environment, you should have a way to access the database. Do you have access to cPanel or another type of backend control panel?
