Retroactive commentspam removal? (6 posts)

    Folks,

    I just recently migrated from Moveabletype to WordPress and am already thrilled.

    But -- I still have a bunch of commentspam that migrated over with my entries. Is there any plugin or script I can use to scan/despam comments that have already been posted?

    Thanks,

    Not to my knowledge, but it would be worth searching. You could include common spam words in the moderation word list and then check comments against that. That would at least take them out of public view and it would let you mark them all as spam with one click.

    I'm not positive, but I think Spam Karma 2 has the ability to rescan all existing comments?

    Check out Spam Nuker - won't hurt to try

    Spam Karma 2 does rescan the posts but isn't always quite effective.

    This is the correct URL for Spam Nuker, but it doesn't really re-scan old comments, just delets them if they are already tagged as spam.

    Any other solutions out there?
