Support » Plugin: Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection » "Check for Spam" button is useful

  • Just in the last couple of months, I’ve inherited WP sites where the previous owner hadn’t activated Akismet properly. There were thousands of spam comments sitting there, approved and unfiltered. The “check for Spam” button made it possible to go through them automatically in bulk. Otherwise, my only option would have been to examine them page-by-page, or else blow them away altogether using a plug-in solution of some kind.

    So, it might not be a bad idea to leave it in — it does have its uses.
