A moderator can delete messages, yes. But ultimately they can only do so 1 topic at a time at most and each time will go through a confirmation page. Only the administrator can potentially delete an entire forum worth of messages, and even then the forum and it's contents are only deleted if the forum trash bin is cleared (Deleted Forums).

Let's consider member XYZ who is a lurker. XYZ is registered because they want to be able to customize the view of the message, perphaps switch the forum into a different language and use many other features restricted to members. On technical forums many users will simply be lurkers because they are mainly there to read and get ideas with a relatively small number actually doing all the talking. And there are numerous reasons why a member may go inactive for an extended period of time.

Well, how do you propose to delete a mass group of members? Have a text box where you could paster their login names separated by spaces? Delete all members who did not visit the forum for X amount of days/months/years? Delete members who have not posted any messages? I am genuinly intrested in how would go about deleting a large group of users.
