I'm not sure how possible this is in Trac. In general we prefer to just delete spam comments; I've taken care of that one.

Only administrators or so can delete comments, which is why in the past moderator action has sometimes only reverted spam comments to an "empty" message.

I think this is better reported on Trac's own bugtracker at ​https://trac.edgewall.org. It sounds like a general feature they could have, and not Haiku specific.

Raised ​https://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/13780 .

This ticket might be converted to a task then:
Delete spam comments which only have been edited away.
