I have not actually posted anything here, been listening since the 
beginning so hey everyone...

I'd love to get a more aggressive way of blocking comment spam in WP. 
It's cool to have them deflect into a bin to approve, but how about more 
of a trash or junk bin like in email.  That way you can see what action 
has been taken and delete them all at once or free one which may have 
slipped through.  I am under my second attack from the fioricet / 
tramadol bandit and while I am blocking the comments from going live, it 
takes time to see the email, manually delete them in bulk mode.

This is a real problem and I know it effects a lot of users....
