At the link the OP wants to remove spam that was automatically approved. A commenter then suggests to use the PhpMyAdmin to remove these approved comments.
I don’t have spam that’s been automatically approved. I have spam in the queue that I want to be trashed or marked as spam and for the queue to just show actual comments. Since the suggestion in the link is for deleting all approved comments, it isn’t right for me. That’s why I asked would you know if instead of typing ” delete from wp_comments WHERE comment_approved =”1″;” in the PhpMyAdmin, I could replace “approved” with another word.
