    Hi

    I have a static brochure website.

    http://skylightroofwindowsbury.com

    None of the pages are set up to allow comments. In the last couple of days i am getting a few approve comments requests. When i looked into it the comments are been left on a page hosting one of my images. I uploaded another image and deleted the file that was getting all the comments.

    Didn't help Just received this in my inbox:

    The comments are all coming promoting .ru websites (Romanian?) and from a variety of emails and ip addresses.

    Does anybody know why this is happening, how to stop it and how to prevent it happening.

    Regards

    Yeah, it's basically bots auto spamming your comment form url. I had a bunch of spam like that coming through, like 25 a day, and now I get 1 every couple of weeks at most thanks to that plugin

    I hope it works for you as well
