I’ve gotten around 9,000 + spam comments since September to October 2008. It was becoming such a pain to delete them using phpmyadmin tool in my cpanel until i implemented reCAPTCHA WordPress Plugin. It seems to be working pretty well so far. Please let me know if you have any issues.
Here is the easy way to delete the spam in your phpmyadmin if you have thousand of them:
DELETE FROM `wp_comments` WHERE `wp_comments`.`comment_approved` = ‘spam’;
Run SQL query and click Go.
Here’s how to install and use Captcha:
1. Download the zip file.
2. Unzip the recaptcha folder into your WordPress wp-content/plugins directory.
3. Activate the plugin on the Options | Plugins Management page of your WordPress admin site. A web form will prompt you to enter a public and private API key. You can sign-up for the keys at the ReCAPTCHA site using the link provided, and then enter them in the text fields to activate the plugin.
4. That’s it! Your reCAPTCHA widget should now appear on the comments page.
