Hi all,

just a heads up that we frequently have legitimate comments in the Spam 
queue on the Magazine. So if you have the ability to moderate this 
queue, please never click the "Empty Spam" button.

I have noticed that legitimate comments that appear in the Spam folder 
seem to always be marked in the spam folder as "Cleared by Akismet" -- 
not sure why, if they are cleared by akismet, they are still in the spam 
folder. But all i have been doing to clear the queue, is:

1. Open the spam folder, and search for "Cleared" on the page with the 
find in page function of my web browser.
2. Review the comments, and mark any legitimate comments as not spam.
3. select all the remaining comments in the page, and delete them
4. repeat for all the other pages of spam comments

Note too that marking a comment as not spam only puts it back in the 
normal comments pending queue, so you will need to go there to finally 
approve the comment to get it viewable on the site.

cheers,
