After my somewhat cursed phone browser moderated another comment into the Chasm of Spam, I started looking into ways to dig through the bowels of WordPress’s engine and recover the misfiled ones. And well, I managed to do it. So, the spam’d comments are back up where they should be, and as a bonus, all the genuine spam has been cleared for good- which should speed up loading the site overall!
Since this post is addressing a technical issue disguised as a Futurama reference, I’m now going to retreat to a fort made of bedsheets before people start assuming I give a runny crap about Star Trek and Linux and neckbeard care or whatever other Computer Science student stereotypes spring to mind.
