+So I have enabled the [[plugins/moderatedcomments]] plugin on my wiki. and good thing that! around 1000 spammy comments showed up in the last 3 months! Awful!
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.

+It seems to me it would be great to have some tool to filter through that...
+
+
+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:
+
+
+#!/bin/sh
+
+set -e
+
+cd .ikiwiki/transient || {
+ echo could not find comments, make sure you are in a ikiwiki source directory.
+ exit 1
+ }
+# count the number of comments
+echo found $(find . -name '*._comment_pending' | wc -l) pending comments
+# number of comments per IP
+echo IP distribution:
+find . -name '*._comment_pending' | xargs grep -h ip= | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
+# generate a banlist for insertion in `banusers`, assuming all the
+# pending comments are spam
+echo banlist would look like:
+find . -name '*._comment_pending' | xargs grep -h ip= | sort -u| sed 's/ ip="//;s/"//;s/^/- ip(/;s/$/)/'
+
+echo to remove comments from a specific IP, use one of those:
+find . -name '*._comment_pending' | xargs grep -h ip= | sort -u \
+ | sed 's/ ip="//;s/"//;' \
+ | while read ip; do
+ echo "find . -name '*._comment_pending' | xargs grep -l 'ip=\"$ip\"'| xargs rm"
+ done
+echo to flush all pending comments, use:
+echo "find . -name '*._comment_pending' -delete"
+
+
+The remaining 42 comments I reviewed throught the web interface, then flushed using the above command. My final addition to the banlist is:
+
+
+- ip(159.224.160.225)
+- ip(176.10.104.227)
+- ip(176.10.104.234)
+- ip(188.143.233.211)
+- ip(193.201.227.41)
+- ip(195.154.181.152)
+- ip(213.238.175.29)
+- ip(31.184.238.11)
+- ip(37.57.231.112)
+- ip(37.57.231.204)

+
+Update: i made a script, above. And the banlist is much larger now so the above list is pretty much out of date now... --[[anarcat]]
+
+Another update, 2020: I rewrote the script to support interactive batch approval and running from a cron job. I have published the [script in my own repo](https://gitlab.com/anarcat/scripts/blob/master/ikiwiki-comment-moderation) since it's python (and not perl), but I would be happy to provide it as a patch here if that's acceptable.
+
+The basic usage is as follows. First, you add the script in a cron job:
+
+ 9 * * * * /home/anarcat/bin/ikiwiki-comment-moderation --source-dir=$HOME/source/
+
+This will run every hour. When there are no comments to moderate, the script is silent and you will not get mail. Otherwise you will get something like this:
+
+ date ip user subject content
+ 2020-05-27T03:42:05Z 192.168.0.116 spammer name subject spammy comment
+ 1 comments pending moderation
+
+Then you can either go through the web interface to approve/deny the
+comments, or call the script by hand, interactively, for example:
+
+ w-anarcat@marcos:~/source$ ~anarcat/bin/ikiwiki-comment-moderation --source-dir=$HOME/source -i --verbose
+ Date : 2020-05-27T04:00:23Z
+ Ip : 192.168.0.116
+ Claimedauthor : spammer name
+ Subject : subject
+ Content : spammy comment
+ approve, delete, ignore? [a/d/I] a

+
+And you're done! In the above case, the test comment was actually
+approved (by pressing `a`), but you can also hit `d` to just delete
+the comment. The default (`i`) is to ignore the comment.
+
+I find that this is generally faster than going through a web browser, although to be as fast as the CGI interface, there would need to be a final dialog that says "delete all ignored comments" like in the CGI. Exercise for the reader or, I guess, myself when I got too many junk comments to process...

+Feedback, as usual, welcome. -- [[anarcat]]
