So I just checked my bid directory and I was amazed to see the SPAM that was submitted to the site.

In total I had close to 1500+ links that were submitted to this directory and with no bulk delete feature, it was a pain in the ass.

Part of the problem could be that the PHPlb version that I am currently using doesn not have any spam protection (captcha) and so it is an easy target for automated spam bot.

The newer version of PHPlb (1.4.2) does have a captcha but still some users are complaining that it is unable to stop the spam submissions.

Well, recently Del.ici.ous captcha was also cracked so I guess this could well mean that the pretty soon captcha could be rendered useless.

Until then if you too are facing heavy spam submission in your PHPlb directory, run this MySQL query in your database to bulk delete the spam submissions.

delete from tbl_links where link_status = 0
