I am getting just LOADS of x-rated spam. Is there any way I can stem the flow long enough to clean it up?

Posted by Tiffany at October 24, 2006 01:45 PMSometimes its 30 or 40 small hits--easy cleanup. But lately, its been coming in massive doses. This morning, it was hundreds. I'm sure its controllable, but I was wondering if there is a way to shut off comments, or stem the hemhorrage while I clean up!

The preference for comments for your blog won't let you turn them off for old posts but you can shut them off for new ones. Also you can choose to no allow html in comments and since most of these probably have a link or two in them that might slow them down.
Posted by Stephen Macklin at October 25, 2006 02:48 AMHave you closed your old comments? There is a line you can put in your template that will do this for you and that keeps the spam at bay. Yell if you need it and I'll find the directions for you.

On preview the line doesn't show up with the http in front of it - so instead of posting a blank - I took the leading http off...
