    Hello,

    This is my first post with you guys :). Anyway yesterday I have been getting tons of e-mails regarding WordPress Comments. They are all from the same person with the same ip. Please note he keeps changing the third numbers and sometimes the last numbers on his ip address. This person keeps spamming saying Great Job, I bookmarked this, Great site, etc. All on the same post! How can block this person from my website?

    Best Regards,
    Nick

    Use Askimet plugin. It is a great thing. I had the same problem.

    Cheltsov,

    I just checked and I do not have a API Key. How can I get one?

    If I remember correct, you need to have registration in wordpress.org. When you log in into your account you will find this key. I thin there is exact explanation for this if you look in google.

    I think it is wordpress.com instead of .org I also have a account with wordpress.com but I never used it before. I loged in and I saw the api key from wordpress.com
