This is a super simple WordPress Plugin that allows you to remove all pending comments from your database with one click. Useful if you have been heavily spammed or have lots of comments in pending and you just a clean slate.
This plugin was born out of necessity for me. Having neglected to enable Akismet when I first set the site up I required something that would delete 55,000 comments in one – Yes I would lose some genuine comments due to my laziness but I felt the trade off was acceptable and after enabling Akismet I would be better placed to manage any further comments.
1. Upload ‘Bulk_Comment_Removal.php’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Find the plugin in the ‘Tools’ menu
4. Tick the checkbox, hit remove and your done.
If there is enough interest in this plugin I would like add date based removal and possibly the option to change comments status to mark them as spam.

Lately, the spam comments are a big headache.
Works great and waiting for the future plans of this plugin.
