Request: Option to automatically delete Spam where the user (or bot) has not given any feedback. It should be implemented as a checkbox below the "Spam filter message" box.

Usage: If Content has been submitted and is classified as SPAM, the user has the opportunity to submit a feedback message. This message can be used by an administrator to manually reclassify the content. If there is no feedback, the Message is automatically deleted, so the overhead for the administrator is reduced.

Agreed. I have a client with a site that is getting about 7 spams/minute at peak. fortunately it doesn't appear to be constantly at that rate or we'd be dealing with 70,000 messages per week. I just cleared out 50,000 comments using a bit of custom php and a delete query with _comment_update_node_statistics (unfortunately the comment_delete API call appears to require manual validation and isn't suitable for scripting). Is there some function in the spam module that I can call to clean up the spam tables after comments are removed (i.e. spam_tracker)?

The other option would be adding a tool to physically track down the spammers... :)
