The 3.0 version of MovableType is going to include some nice new features including some to combat comment spam. I'm looking forward to upgrading and using the registration system, but in the meantime I was looking at hundreds of comment spam that has accumulated over the past few months.
The 2.x versions of MT do not have a simple way to mass-delete comments, so I had been putting it off . Finally yesterday I decided to look for a plugin or application that would just list all of my blog's comments on one webpage with a delete checkbox next to each. After a few minutes of googling around, I didn't find anything so I just hacked up one myself.
It was so simple to do that I'm sure there are other implementations out there, and they are probably better than mine (mine is extremely barebones). But in case you're looking and haven't found one, you can download my code and run it on your site (download: DavComments.zip). There's a README.TXT that explains how to install/use it.

Oh my god, this is exactly what I've been needing! We have this one very evil, very pernicious troll on http://OrangePolitics.org
Dav, you rule! (But what else is new?) Rock on...
