I recently disabled my Intense Debate plugin since it wasn't marking many comments as spam. Now, the only problem is that I have a bunch of spam comments on my old posts. Is there any plugin out there that will scan all of my old comments and remove the spam?

Posted 2 years ago #I was pretty sure Akismet had an option for rescanning the database. Anyway, it shouldn't be too hard to get Akismet to scan approved comments. I just glanced at the plugin and it looks like you might be able to loop through your comments and run each one through
akismet_auto_check_commentor at least crib the code for use in your own loop. You can also use the Akismet API directly. Its pretty straightforward.
