Das Plugin hat mit einem Klick tausendfachen Spam entfernt. Es gibt keine weiteren Einstellungen. Nach Installation und Aktivierung des Plugins auf die Kommentarseite gehen. Oben steht ein Button “Spam löschen”. Perfektes Plugin, vielen Dank.

The latest update delets ALL comments, not just pending comments. Beware and do NOT use if you have valid comments that you don’t want to be scrubbed.
