   I have turned comments off, yet the spam bots still comment and it appears on the main page. I have a memorial post on the site and many users from my community have complain about 'viagra' etc being advertised.

   Please can you help?

   if you have comments off and youre seeing spam, thats not a comment -- its a trackback or a pingback. Turn those off as well.

   Hi. I have just been hit badly by these retards too ... boy, I really would like to chop the mouse fingers off this sick people.

   One question, I thought it was comment spam even after apply reCaptcha and Akismet (which has been wonderful) but I have just realised that this is new and trackback spam.

   I know the phpmyadmin command to switch off all comments retrospectively ... is there a similar command for switching off trackback?

   Thanks
