About this plugin
Zarin Comment Spam Cleaner gives site moderators a focused cleanup screen under Tools > Comment Spam Cleaner.
It can find comments and product reviews that match any of these filters:
- Russian/Cyrillic characters in the comment text or commenter name.
- A keyword or phrase in the comment text.
- A minimum number of links in the comment text.
- The commenter’s email domain.
- A selected comment date range.
- Exact commenter names or registered WordPress usernames.
Every filter is optional and a comment is selected when it matches any single enabled filter — you only need to turn on the ones you want. A whitelist lets you protect specific commenters (by name, username, or email) from ever being matched, even if they trip another filter.
The plugin shows a preview before changing anything, and the full matching set can be exported to CSV for your own records before you confirm a cleanup. Moving matches to the WordPress Trash is the default action. Permanent deletion is available only after choosing it explicitly and confirming the preview.
Cleanup runs in batches of up to 100 comments to reduce timeout risk on sites with large comment tables. The preview is frozen at the newest comment ID that existed when it was created, expires after 24 hours, and does not unexpectedly include newer comments.
The plugin does not send comment data to an external service and does not run automatic background deletion.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect, transmit, or share personal data. It reads existing local comment and user records only when an authorized moderator runs a preview or cleanup.
