 * Hi there,
 * I’m having problems on by blog [http://www.gunnerblog.com](http://www.gunnerblog.com)
   with people posting racist and unsuitable comments.
 * Is there any way other than manually deleting them and blocking IPs to control
   how people post?

 * Moderate your comments, or require registration. That way you can control who’s
   commenting, and what shows on the site.

 * If I require registration, what happens?
 * Ie. what’s the process for them to become registered? Can I delete them once 
   they have?

 * Yes you can delete a user. You could also require users to use your contact form
   to register, then manually add them as a user via the admin panel. Then there’s
   an option to require registered and logged in to comment.
 * I see you get a lot of comments, is that why you are not simply moderating all
   comments?

 * is there a way to just shut off all comments? i’ve already unchecked any and 
   all comments so that people cannot reply to articles – but i keep getting porn
   spam in my comments for moderation.
 * i just do not want comments at all. like i want them wiped completely from my
   site.

 * noobdog1, you are probably experiencing “trackback spam”. Do you have any spam
   fighting plugins installed?
