 So it turns out it was over 3000 comments. The vast majority of those (every one but 42 comments) were from the IP `46.161.41.34` which i recommend null-routing everywhere. I used the following shell magic to figure that out:

-cd $source/.ikiwiki/transient

+set -e

+cd .ikiwiki/transient || {

-# generate a banlist for insertion in `banusers`, assuming all the pending comments are spam

+Update: i made a script, above. And the banlist is much larger now so the above list is pretty much out of date now... --[[anarcat]]
