Batch delete submitted sites
Search site submission services have spammed my Links site with 5500 entries, nearly all of which are off-topic to the theme of my site. Is there any way to batch delete these without wading through the Vaidate screens?

yea, open the validate.db or modified.db (forgot which one holds the awaiting links) and delete all lines from the file. You can do this via Shell, by removing the file completely, and re-creating it.

Or you can download the file and then open the file in Excel and delete all the bad ones and save the file as a pipe or tab delimited file (depending on what delimter you chose).

Or you can delete the file via FTP, then upload the blank default validate/modified.db file to the data folder.

Buh Bye!
