Fast and Efficient Wordpress Spam Clearing
If you’re using Wordpress most likely you get some spam comments caught by Akismet the infamous spam filter plugin. Sometimes I get a lot of spam and would hate to just go through the whole thing, mostly I could just identify spam by one look! Therefore, I’ve come up with a way to clean spam quickly and efficiently.
I use Firefox but you could do this using other browsers as well. You’ll notice at the end of each spam comment there is a checkbox with “not spam” next to it.
What I do is, I use firefox search for the words “not spam” and it automatically takes me to the end of the first spam entry. With one look I can see if it is spam or not, then I keep my finger on the CTRL button (Command button if you’re on a mac) and press “G” to go to the next item found. This way by pressing “CTRL”/”Command”+G repeatedly I can cycle through the spam comments much faster. If I see a comment which should not be there, I simple tick the check mark and keep going!

Do you mean this tool detecting spam by the words typing such as good site, etc…? Anyway, I think this tool is a must. Spams are very annoying!

Yes, I am, thank you thank you thank you *bow* Dance African? Northern African or southern African, there is a huge difference you know…
Elaine,
Yes it comes built-in with wordpress actually! It is a great tool and spam is very annoying and it wastes time to go through!
There is? I don’t know. Haven’t asked. Will do.
Meanwhile, explain. The difference.
