 * I’m dealing with a lot of comment spam that, according to my network admin is
   also being sent out as emails from two of my websites. We really need to fix 
   this as soon as possible, as we have the mail server shut down completely and
   if we turn it on we’re in danger of being blacklisted.
 * I’ve found this article that sounds promising, I was wondering if someone could
   help me impliment this code in a way that may fix my problem.

 * If not, is there anyway to disable to comment system in WordPress completely?
 * Thanks!

 * Settings >> Discussion
 * Some themes can override that setting, so if your theme can, be sure to set it
   to not do that. You may need to check each post/page to make sure those settings
   are off.
