- Description updated (diff)
How often should this take place?
Normally I do it every month but I don't update the ticket, should i do it every time I perform the task?
No, no need to for the moment - just was curious :)
- Status changed from New to In Progress

Yes, it's enough to do it once or twice a year. I've just done it. 70 bugs deleted Thanks for the reminder.
Is it possible to also delete all comments with the “spam” tag?

Do you mean comments tagged with 'spam' ? No, it's not possible, Bugzilla doesn't allow to remove comment as far as I know
Oh, that’s a bummer. Then, how feasible it would be to restrict comments on old bugs (say, 1 month after they’re closed), for people not in “contributors”? This is to avoid getting spam comments.

I guess we could automatically close the issues after X days the same way we already automate some actions in Bugzilla. Once the bugs are closed, comments with links are blocked
That’s not enough; the URL fields etc. also need to be locked down. Hence, my proposal to restrict to non-contributors
I think when an issue is closed we can change the fields to read-only to non-contributors users. I'll explore that idea
