From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:Notice re. comment aging
We will be installing an overnight process (probably over the weekend) that closes comments on posts that have been up more than 7 days. That's where most of the comment spam appears as these posts have been spidered.
And yes, we use MT-Blacklist, but the new urls and IPs still get through for a while.
An example for mysql here.
next step is bulk comment-editing to prune out all the comment spam lingering about.

Am I wrong? Perhaps you know that and intend to push them into the active threads where they can be more easily detected?
