Forms Apps - Spam

Does the spam captured by the Forms app have to be deleted manually?

I am running Perch scheduled tasks.

I see in the Settings an option for Blog comments Spam to be cleared every x days but see no similar option for Form spam.

There's no automated deletion of spam in the Forms app.

Ok, any plans to automate it with scheduled tasks at all?

There is no reason not to, other than time and priorities. If the question is when then the answer would be no current plans.

Thanks Rachel,

That's fine. It's crop upped recently with a client site we run on Perch where they are getting a lot of spam through the contact form. The form is enabled with Akismet so it's being filtered out fine but having to delete each one manually is a bit of pain.

What's causing the need to delete them?

Housekeeping more than anything. The question I had from client was 'can I delete them all in one go?'

You'd need to do that in the database.

I do :)
