I have a Discourse installation and am super happy with it. Recently spammers have found ways to workaround the built in spam-protection. The problem is, they post images in their posts and then immediately embed these images in spam e-mails they send to thousands of people. Even if I delete the pos…

Hmmm. That is a tricky one. :thinking: I think if you edit the post to remove the image so it’s not included in the latest version of a post (deleted or otherwise), and also set clean orphan uploads grace period hours to the minimum of 1 hour that may speed up the removal.

I think it deletes the posts and the uploads are taken care of in a similar way to the method above using clean orphan uploads grace period hours. There’s also an inbuilt delay of 5 minutes between soft deleting and permanently deleting by the same admin (though a second admin would not face the …

Yes. And as the other guy above said. Gotta wait 5 mins. Just use another admin account to do it instantly. It’ll permanently delete the image.
