Do You Guys Delete Spammers From Wordpress Database Tables?

I used to run buddypress on a WP site but did away with it. I had someone move it to a new domain and some of the spammers posts showed up again even though I deleted them earlier.

Do you guys regularly delete spammers from the actual database? Is deleting their account via Wordpress admin panel enough?

    I just delete the spam as it comes in but I have had a couple of attacks that were really bad. One site had 224.000 spam comments, so yes then i had to.

    I don't typically get a lot of spam on my wordpress sites...possibly due to having Antispam Bee installed, which might be something you want to look into installing. I get a few here and there but I just delete them from the Wordpress console.

    Delete them. They are pretty useless. Spam can also dramatically decrease the speed of your blog. They have no uses anyways so just delete them. When I started out, my spam was just wave after wave. Thankfully after installing a plugin, it happens very rarely now.
