The Batch Comment Spam Deletion plug-in for WordPress seems to be working, albeit slowly, to empty spam w/o timeout. https://wordpress.org/plugins/batch-comment-spam-deletion/ …

@mjtsai When you say it’s working, “albeit slowly,” isn’t that kinda the point?

@leebennett DB server has now been moved to the same data center, and WordPress (no plug-in) deleted the remaining 4,000 in a few seconds. - View other replies

@mjtsai Related but also unrelated: might you be familiar with any Drupal development companies my office might want to consider? -
@leebennett I'm not, but I believe Daniel Chvatik was using Drupal for one of his businesses, so perhaps see who he used. -
@mjtsai K. My office is seeking a developer. Wants an established company. Not an individual.

@leebennett Yes, but it was really slow. After several hours it had only deleted 8,000 or so spammy comments out of 12,000. -
@mjtsai Eep. Okay ya that’s slow.

@leebennett Turns out that after upgrading my Web server it was in a different data center (and coast) than the MySQL server.
