You can set the apr field of those messages to 0, in which case they will remain in the forum but will not be visible.

Still not quite what I'm looking for. I want to be able to just tag the SPAM thread and be done with it.

Keeping in mind this is nntp linked board (I don't guess you would have this problem on a wholly local board).

For example a new thread is started somewhere on the usenet "HERE IS SPAM". I can quickly move that thread to the hidden "Trash" board and nobody coming into my forum will ever see it. The problem is the topic is out there in the usenet and it doesn't take too long before someone (somewhere on the usenet) responds with "don't spam this group". Then I get a new thread "Re: HERE IS SPAM" and again I have to move that to the hidden trash board.

Your idea to "disapprove" the message is OK but I would need to disapprove every message as it comes in. I really want to "disapprove" the thread and thus hide all subsequent replies to that thread. So I'm all for setting something in the fud26_thread table to accomplish this task with one operation per SPAM thread.

Actually the "move topic" option would do the trick but it looks like the nntp parse will not "follow" the move. i.e., I can move a thread to the hidden trash board but when a reply to that thread comes in it does not follow the move, instead creates a new thread in the main nntp linked board.

I don't mind developing a hack and would appreciate your input on a good way to do it such that it could be contributed back to FUD (if you think it's worthy).
