I imported the data from my bbpress forum to simple press today and I feel great! Everything went on smoothly. There are a couple of spam posts which I am trying to get rid off, but unable to do that.
I am trying to delete posts but somehow when I click on "Edit" a post ,the "Delete" option doesn't appear.
I deleted the user from the backend but now if you see, the user(which was a spambot) appears as a guest . How do I completely delete a post ?
Here's the link to the post

Also I wish to know what is this concept of "guest" user ? I mean a member only would be able to post in a forum right ?

If you hover over a post or a topic (in forum view) then a small toolbox icon should appear over on the left hand side with a set of tools that includes delete.
However it probably wont work as your WP theme is incorrectly loading and calling jQuery which is causing errors on your site and stopping jQuery functions from running including, probably, the forum.
This article explains that problem:

Thanks Yellow Swordifsh. I have asked my theme developer to look into the issue. In the meantime, is there any quick way of deleting all that spam from the backend so that I can fire up my forums ?
Would searching for those posts in the database and deleting them from there be of any help ?

Figured out how to delete posts. Logged on to phpmyadmin and deleted all the posts. It was a very tedious process though as there were more than 50 spam posts on the forum and had to delete them one by one.Took me around 1 hour to do this but good riddance though!

I would recommend after doing a manual delete that you visit the toolbox > housekeeping and update all the indexing just to keep things right.
And if you use the admin bar SP plugin you can also delete posts from there when they first arrive as well as optionally use Akismet for spam checks.

Update:My developer said that he's unable to fix the jquery conflict issue.
Yellow swordfish, can you please help me out fix the issue because none of the plugins-like post ratings,file upload and delete post are working-and I am assuming that they are not working because of the jquery conflict.

Sure. Let's start with the theme. If you would like to zip up the theme folder and email it to me I can install it and try and help resolve it.
Email it to support at simple-press dot com

Step 1:
Go to the forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalinks panel. Turn OFF the option to load Javascript in the footer and save.
Step 2:
Open the WP theme file header.php for editing. Locate this line of code on line 13:
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $template_url; ?>/assets/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
and remove it. Save the file.
Step 3:
Open the WP theme file functions.php for editing. After the credits at the top add these lines of code:
add_action('init', 'do_global_javascript');
function do_global_javascript(){
wp_enqueue_script("jquery");
}and save it.
Step 4:
Open the WP theme file /assets/js/theme.js for editing.
Replace every occurrence of the dollar symbol ($) with the word 'jQuery'. Not in quotes of course - and note the capital 'Q'. There should be, I believe, 12 of them. Save the file.
Step 5:
Test the site. There are other anomalies in the script handling but if they do not effect anything then they are probably best left alone. See what works and what doesn't and if any of the latter let me know what they are.
