I have manually activated Akismet spam blocking for three member blogs during the past two days. One Blog Peoria member (who shall remain nameless) has 39,000 comments in the moderation queue. That is NOT good. You cannot even get the “moderate comments” page to load with so many.
Also, if you logged into the admin panel today, you’ve noticed some changes to the news feeds. The admin dashboard opens to a page showing the posts on the front page of The Blog Peoria Project, as well as links to member posts. Cool, huh.

Thats probably me…sorry about that. But in my defense, I couldnt remove 39,000 spam comments manually, and I will admit I am still new to this, and wasn’t sure how else to do it. They literally come into my posts hundreds at a time, removing them manually would take hours.
Again…so sorry.
My bad.

jadedgirl: I’ve activated spam blocking. So the problem will go away. But 39,000 is a LOT… I’m laughing at it more than I am worried.

May want to upgrade the plugin. You’re using 2.0.2 and they’re up to 2.1.2 I believe. There was a security issue in there somewhere but I forget which version it was.
