Thanks for the tip, saved me from having to create my own SQL string. I’d recommend running it from a shell rather than from phpmyadmin if possible (would hate to see it timeout and cause problems). Still works with the latest version of MT.

Shell commands:

mysql -u youruser -p
use mt_yourdb;
SELECT * FROM `mt_comment` WHERE comment_junk_status = ‘-1′ LIMIT 0 , 30;
DELETE FROM `mt_comment` WHERE comment_junk_status = ‘-1′;

I wonder if there’s an API call that will run automated processes? If not, there should be. Posting tools could call it on each posting event.
