I’m looking for anyone who can bring a little vorsprung durch technik to a “simple” WordPress problem.

We have a site with 23,000 spam comments in the moderation panel. WordPress only allows zapping 20 at a time, or a huge process of downloading the whole mess bucket, which invariably hangs the computer.

I’m seeking a quick way to zap the lot, maybe serverside using the MySQL panel. Has any bright spark got a handle on this?

Reward in Heaven.
