Deleting Spam Feedback manually

Greetings All,

Please see attached.. I noticed I have 6,153 pending feedbak posts by Admin Acct, which are clearly spam. Of course I don't want to delete Admin Acct to remove all these pending spam feedback, I was wondering if I can remove them directly from the database so I can write a query to do that.  Do you know which table these feedbak reside in.  If there is a better way to purge these spam, it would be great.   

Lastly, how do I prevent this from happening again ?


Thank you !

Would uninstalling the Feedback Module do it?

All module data will be lost permanently. Are you sure you want to uninstall module(s) ?

And to prevent it, don't have Feedback module installed.

Cool

It was a bug when feedback wasn't deleted when a member is deleted, later the feedback from deleted user showed currently logged in member as the author. THis problem will be fixed in the upcoming 7.3.4 update.

You can delete all feedback posts from database by executing the following query:

TRUNCATE TABLE `bx_fdb_entries`

However, all related entries will be left (such as tags, votings, comments) and it's highly recommended to delete it through the admin interface.

 I have the same problem.

I get 200-300 feedback posts daily. More over, all these posts are made from admin accound!

 

Is it possible to fix this bug?

I just got over 200 feedback spams and sql errors in the past 30 minutes.

Looking in modules > feedback (admin area) shows a ridiculous number of additional feedback spam.

I unchecked all 3 options.

No choice.

Running 7.3.4 on all sites.

I only get the email spam report:

 

 

Spam report details:

Profile:
Page: /modules/index.php
GET variables:

 
Array
(
    [r] => feedback/post/
)
 

Spam Content:

 

But when i check the admin feedback module, there is nothing.

I checked the bx_fdb_entries in the database and there is nothing also.

Currently my site is invite only. 

I've also implemented both modzzz and the official boonex patch ticket #614.

Didn't work.

I keep getting the Automatic Spam Report. 

Help!

ok apparently I have another site that sends the spam reports to the same email. Have updated both sites with the fix. Monitoring the situation now. Hopefully all the spam will stop. 

Thanks!
