Mass spam deletion tools needed (BB-16023)

I have a repository:

https://bitbucket.org/runhello/emily/issues?status=new&status=open&page=20

My repository has 483 open issues. It appears exactly two of them are legitimate issues posted by a user. The others are commercial spam, consisting of garbled names of commercial products and 800 numbers. The posts come from many different account names but the text is roughly the same for each. A nice person from Atlassian spoke to me last night on Twitter and deleted about 50 of these spam comments, but then at 1:30 PM today whoever is posting these increased their rate to about two per minute, leading to several hundred spam issues in a matter of three hours. I have turned off public issue posting in response.

However, now I have 481 spam comments in my queue. It takes about four clicks to report a single issue as spam, so that is about 1600 clicks and I do not know how much time to report all of them. I cannot do this.

Because your issue interface is a target for spam and has been for some time, I believe you need a mass delete / mass report feature. I do not know what this would look like, but both gmail and wordpress have features where there is a checkbox next to each post on a page, and you can "check all", uncheck the one or two legitimate posts, then "report/delete all".

Thanks.
