 It's pretty hard to figure out the ham and the spam in there. One thing I was hoping was to use the power of the commandline to filter through all that stuff. Now, it seems there's only a "ikiwiki-comment" tool now, and nothing to examine the moderated comments.

+So it turns out it was over 3000 comments. The vast majority of those (every one but 42 comments) were from the IP `46.161.41.34` which i recommend null-routing everywhere. I used the following shell magic to figure that out:
+
+<pre>
+# locate the transient directory
+cd $source/.ikiwiki/transient
+# count the number of comments
+find . -name '*._comment_pending' | wc
+# number of comments per IP
+find . -name '*._comment_pending' | xargs grep -h ip= | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
+# generate a banlist for insertion in `banusers`, assuming all the pending comments are spam
+find . -name '*._comment_pending' | xargs grep -h ip= | sort -u| sed 's/ ip="//;s/"//;s/^/- ip(/;s/$/)/'
+# remove comments from a bad guy
+find . -name '*._comment_pending' | xargs grep -l 'ip="46.161.41.34"'| xargs rm
+# flush all pending comments
+find . -name '*._comment_pending' -delete
+</pre>
+
+The remaining 42 comments I reviewed throught the web interface, then flushed using the above command. My final addition to the banlist is:
+
