I authorized a user and within minutes they posted 4 entries with spam advertising products.

I quickly disabled the user account. I then deleted the account.

Unfortunately, the four posts now show as: n/a

How can I get rid of them?

I'm usinig Drupal 4.5.2

Happened to me, although I wanted that posts stayed visible. When they are visible, you can delete them, so that solves your problem too. I've just created an issue with a patch - see http://drupal.org/node/19055 .

If you have access to database, you can delete the posts from node table, but there might be other tables where those nodes are referenced, better not leave clutter.

This is not only a problem with deleted users. It's also a deleted-blogpost problem. Very ugly. I'll look at your patch and hope that the maintainers do, too.
