romeo mihalcea Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I would recommend the this setting for you main member group. It’s not blog specific, but does what you ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel R Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
