I have been spammed by a bot and now have 1300 comments to delete.

is there a way to delete multiple comments?
or can someone tell me which table in the database i can delete rows from?
and if I can do that without breaking other code.

by the way, I had spam protection enabled.
i am now trying recaptcha, i hope it makes a difference
thanks

In the comments section of your ACP, there should be an option to "Show All"...with 1300 spam comments, your best bet may be to select all and go through and uncheck the valid comments...click delete selected comments and you're done :)

Captcha's work pretty well for my other sites...

You may want to think about expanding your word filters?

thanks topdawg

I did not see that,
I also did not see a place to add word filters, thats a good idea.

thanks again
