I guess you could do it directly through the DB. Dave |

I'm having problems with spam as well. No matter how many times I go and delete the comments, more just keep popping up. Does anybody know of a way to prevent spam comments from showing up in the first place? |

Don't allow the everybody/guest user add comments. Force them to register and/or use the http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:akismet module. Dave |

Thank you, Dave! Done. Finally. Still quite fastidious when you have to delete some hundreds of those damned spam comments. Pity that there is no integrated "bulk delete" in Gallery3. |

How would the bulk delete work? You would still have to some how sort or filter out the good from the bad. I guess one could develop a module that would get all the comments in a table then use some JS to sort and filter it like: http://tablefilter.free.fr/ex.php Dave |

Akismet plugin is the best tool for spam filtration. |
