spam.module,v 1.20 2004/10/25 11:52:43

Although the comment.module patch includes a batch-delete for the comments list, there is no delete option on the spam admin page -- the only way to delete comments flagged as spam is to first publish them and then view the new comments list ;)

This is a duplicate of #11661.

Marking 'by design'. I will not offer a mass-delete option until it is safe to delete spam. I still have a plan to improve the tokenizer logic, and if you've deleted your spam you will be starting over with training the Bayesian logic when you upgrade, or unable to upgrade.

This is probably temporary, however I don't want to encourage people to delete their spam at the moment.

That said, if you look at the previously provided patch for the comment module, you will find that it would be exceedingly simple to patch the spam.module to support mass deletes. I _do not_ recommend it, but if you're so convinced, have at it.

ok, fair enough -- although I get more than enough fresh spam to retrain any new improvement ;) I will hold off as long as I can before I take the patch plunge.

I still think there's some merit in using blogapi to say "send this comment to Jeremy's blog" so you'd get a varied collection of sample data. Spamassassin also includes a "send us your spam" option that I'm sure they use for testing and QA.

Batch-deletion of spam content is possible with the 2.0 rewrite of the spam module, as is auto-expiration (auto-deletion) of spam content.

Closing manually. (I think the project module is broken, it keeps marking them updated when they should be closed.)
