 * Hello all,
 * I have 44,000 comments! How can I stop this spam…I have used all the available
   tools that wordpress provides in limiting comments. Just stopped looking at them
   several months ago. Now I need to delete them all…until the next 40, 000. This
   is in less than 12 months time.
 * Thanks!

 * Have you tried Askimet? It’s a standard WordPress plugin, and it works great.
   Check that out if you haven’t already.

 * Dynamic Design< I installed Askimet, it says it’s installed already when I try
   to install again but cannot find it in the plug ins or jetpack. Any idea where
   it may be hiding? Where else can I check?
    WPyogi, I installed Bulk Comments 
   and it deleted all 40,000. That was a great help. THank you! Any suggestion as
   to where Askimet may be hiding?
