 * I use the subscribe widget on the sidebar of my blog and recently I have been
   getting thousands of “Anonymous” subscriptions from a spam bot.
 * Is there a way to stop this? Or a way to bulk delete them?
 * Any suggestions would be very helpful.

 * @Teuvo,
 * If you are using a recent version of Subscribe2 there are some anti spam measures
   included however it is still wise to use a plugin like Bad Behaviour.

 * Also, if these subscribers remain unconfirmed they will be automatically deleted
   after 28 days.

 * Than you for the advice. I’m also looking for a way to bulk delete the Anonymous
   subscribers as there is 49,000. Any ideas?

 * Does this not apply then?
 * You can filter on Unconfirmed Subscribers and delete all those on the page. You
   could also try direct in the database using PHPMyAdmin.
