    I was checking email this Saturday morning and found a comment had been posted to one of my blogs.

    I have comments turned off.

    But somehow comment and ping was turned on for that one post.

    Did the RU viagra advert bot turn comment/pings on somehow ? Is there a way to prevent this ?

    It is off under options.

    Thanks

    Search.
    It is not comment – it’s most likely trackback spam. Use a plugin like badBehavior.

    Okay. I don’t have the trackback php file on any of my sites.

    It was a comment waiting for moderation. I deleted it.

    I’ll add the badBehavior plugin.

    edit: plugin added.

    I decided to go with ‘strict mode’ and see how that works. It did say blocked one user, but it could have been a normal user. I’ll keep checking it daily.
