Occasionally we get really blasted with spam. Like, in the last few days a user posted a ton of spam using 4 different accounts.

I've now added views_bulk_operations to the site and created a view at http://groups.drupal.org/admin/content/comments/spamattack that has an exposed filter for username.

You can also get to this view by going to a user's profile page and clicking the "Administer comments" tab.

Access is locked down for people who can "administer comments" so not everyone will see it, but for those who help with this it should be useful.

Awesome!

I love this on drupal.org and always miss it when I have to delete spam over here. Thankfully g.d.o doesn't seem to get as much spam but it's a real PITA when it does. This is very welcome news.

Quick update: there is now a similar view for nodes posted on the site. On a user profile page it is called "Administer nodes" - here is the page for me: http://groups.drupal.org/user/58/administer-nodes

With these two tools it's gotten much easier to fight undesirable content (at least for me).
