 * I have been receiving a lot of spam on my blog. I have locked it down ao that
   I have to approve comments, and add the ip addresses daily to the block list,
   but they are still coming in. I added the robots file to the site with this :
   User-agent: *
    Allow: /
 * User-agent: Googlebot
    Disallow: /
 * Would the disallow effect my ratings?? also any other ideas without paying a 
   monthly fee. So far I have to add IP’s to block list daily…. It is such a pain.

 * I agree with peredur. Use Akismet. If you still have issues, add Bad Behavior
   along with Akismet:

 * Still having problems, add Cookies for Comments:

 * I recently changed the settings in my discussion and set comments on post to 
   close after a month. This has helped tremendously.
