My site has 177 comments I wanted to get rid of. Straight after the installation
of this plugin, I get the following message: “Its looks there are many comments 
in your website.This plugin will not work with your website. You can get full version
from here (link to the paid version).” Dude, If you want to release a free version
of the plugin and submit it to the WordPress plugin inventory, at least make it 
do something useful! This is a waste of time.

The website said it might not be compatible, the website warned me this might not
be what I wanted. Oh it was EXACTLY what I wanted and needed. The “auto” approval
of the comments on photos was something I had initially tried to turn off using 
the steps a when I setup the site, but at first it only worked on posts. Once I 
found the option to address the individual photos, it had already collected 260000
+ comments in less than a few weeks. The client wanted NO comments at all. After
all this time, I found this application, and they are GONE. Thank you!

Crashed my site – gave me fatal errors. Oh, and it didn’t remove the comments, only
crashed once a comment was added.

Update.php had a warning but otherwise the plug in worked wonderfully. I’m not clear
what the author suggest be done after such an operation. I just wanted to remove
the two thousand “ping-back” crap comments that infected my site, then return to
normal operations for a media campaign. So after the Purge, I went back to “remove
comments” on my dash and debated about whether it was necessary to change the settings
to “no.” I wondered if leaving them at “yes” meant that it would continuously purge
new comments. Then I decided why have this plugin active at all, so I deactivated
it. I’m glad to keep the plugin installed for next time things get out of control.
