During the wild neglect i’ve had for my tech blog, comments have gone AWOL crazy… i’m talking 10k plus comments of spam. To prevent this, I installed and configured captcha and deleted ALL comments in moderation (sorry!).
Because there is no good way to bulk-moderate in Wordpress, the thread below shows the query I ran to remove the 10,000 comments.

Then, the captcha addon can be downloaded here:

Very nice! Blog is usable again!
