Treat Feedback Spam Like Comment Spam
-
I hope the title explains it well. Deleting comment spam that is held by Akismet is easy; you can remove every one of them with one click. This is not the case with Feedback spam. Either you have the choice to Delete Permanently one-at-a-time or you have to move them to Trash before you can bulk delete.
Also, Feedback spam is not automatically deleted after 15 days. I learned this a few months ago, when I had over 2,000 spam from the contact forms on my site. I was told to let it sit and it should be taken care of. This was not the case and staff had to bulk move it to Trash for me, so I could delete it all. After a relative season of calm, the spam numbers are growing again, though I am not seeing anything near a thousand yet. Today, I disabled my contact forms, so it doesn’t get as bad again.
Since Akismet is catching all of these, I did not receive any email notification for them. For this, I am grateful.
You (WordPress) allow both types of commenting on our blogs, whether a standard comment or a contact form. Could you please make the removal of feedback spam as easy as comment spam?
Thank you for your consideration. :)The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
