  Lately, I’ve been receiving thousands (literally) of comments for my blog, and I can only un-spam and approve 20 comments at a time.

  I just don’t have the time to go through and do that for who knows how long. Is there any way you can increase the amount of comments we can approve and un-spam at once?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I think you should read this thread

  Maybe one legitimate comment here – the rest are spam

  @auxclass,
  No, not really. Your comments were marked as forum spam (why? no clue…) and when that happens the link to the OP’s site is visible to you, moderators, and staff. Well, when you were spammed only those folks could even see the comments. Anyway you are now unspammed.

  I figured out the part about me being spam – did not know that a feature of that was to show the OP blog as the one I wanted help with – interesting feature but a nice one to know about as another indicator to show me that I am spam – – sometimes too many links off site will have a comment marked as spam

  thanks for retrieving my comments – guess my other Post about a forum bug is really a “feature”

  thanks
