comment spam 2

So some fella tried to comment spam me, and thanks to Drupal, they were all trapped in the approval queue and never got published to the site… but it exposed a couple of points that should get addressed at some point with Drupal: - There is no batch delete option: to delete 60 spam comments—what I am doing right now—you need to click delete on the line item, which takes you to a confirmation page, which leads to a results page (deletion successful). You then need to find your own way back to the approval queue page, because there is no link back provided. - There is no data provided in the queue about the poster, such as IP. The statistics module has all this data, but it’s interwoven with other, legitimate requests. Each comment in the queue should have host information attached to it. This would be valuable for blacklisting people, if necessary. - When there is a batch delete action, deleting by host should be an option. This way you can clean out even the most massive of attacks so long as the spammer was foolish enough to do them all from the same session.
