   When I go to the moderation panel there is NOTHING there. This morning I woke up to 7 of them, all came at 6am.

   Is this a new form of spam or is something malfunctioning?

   I tested my site and the comments do work, and the correct moderation email came through to my email.

   Has anyone seen this before? I Googled to no avail.

   Thanks in advance!

   Install the Bad Behavior plugin - it will stop that stuff before it gets that far:
