If the forum admin bar plugin has labeled the post as spam, it will be available in the admin bar… in the admin bar settings, have you enabled akismet? that is what does the spam detection… or are you just calling the posts spam because you think they? some confusion might be on who is labeling them as spam… we were assuming you meant admin bar and akismet was marking the posts as spam…
if you have akismet running, what option did you set for handling spam?
these ‘spam’ posts, are they visible posts or hidden? again perhaps terminology, but in our vernacular, need moderation, means the forum has marked them as needing moderation and has them hidden from view of regular users… or are you just saying you need to handle these posts and treat them as spam?
big difference in terminology… if they are just posts made to your forum that you think are spam, you will have to delete the posts manually… if they are spam or in moderation as determined by the forum, they will be visible in the admin bar… also, on the admin bar options panel at forum – admins – global admin options, what do you ave for the two options that start with ‘Approve all posts…’? that will affect how some posts show in the admin bar if you have multiple admins on your site…
but to iterate, if posts have made it to your forum as regular posts, they will have to be handled individually… if the admin bar has moderated them (based on your moderation settings) or if akismet has marked them as spam, they should be in the admin bar to handle…
