# disabling comments

 * How can I disable comments completely on my blog? I’ve been blog-spammed en masse
   and there are simply too many of them to delete, even in Mass Edit Mode. I want
   to shut them down while I figure out a better way.

 * There’s an option in ‘Discussion’ for this isn’t there ?

 * try the [stop comments](http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2004/09/01/stop-comments-plugin-and-take-down-blog-plugin/)
   plugin.

 * I tried unchecking “allow people to post comments on the article” but it’s still
   allowing commenting. Is there anything else I can do short of downloading the
   stop comments plugin?

 * OK, it’s me again. I installed the stop comments plugin, but it turns off both
   comments and ALL POSTS? WTF kind of plugin is that? I want to stop commenting,
   not posting!
    OK, this is seriously frustrating.

 * I temporarily disabled the >options> writing> update posts, deleted the pingomatic
   entry. This worked for me.

 * I tried disabling the Ping feature as well, but alas, it didn’t work–I put up
   a new post and the second it appeared it had a new spam in the comments.
    I’m
   really at my wit’s end here: Does anyone know of a way to block comments from
   a specific e-mail address? (so far all the spams have come from different IPs
   but they all have the same e-mail address)
