How do I disable blog comments?

I'm getting spammed to death. How do I disable the comments on my blog posts? I can't even find a way to delete them. Found a way to "hide them" but I need some sort of approval of comments before they appear live.

I would recommend the this setting for you main member group.  It’s not blog specific, but does what you ask for.

Would this put into moderation every forum post as well?

No bueno. This is a basic feature I'm surprised they didn't think for a setting to disable comments in blog app.

You need to edit each group and disable the ability to post comments:

I didn’t say it didn’t exist. I made a general recommendation about spam prevention. 

If you're receiving large amounts of spam, you should think about general spam prevention (like the one suggested by @opentype) rather than trying to focus on one specific consequence.  

This means ensuring your security settings are appropriate.  You can enable several services like IPS Spam Defense, Captcha, Flagging Spammers (where you can hide all content), and Question and Answer Challenge:
