Spam abuse in Comments

Post by R0CKY »

Look at this FAQ entry.

It is full of spam, but as you can see - there is no comment entry box - comments is OFF. Also, CAPTCHA is ON.

How are spam comments getting posted when the config has comments off?

It might be that these are old comments from a previous version number. I will delete all the spam and see if any new ones appear.

Also, I do not use the NEWS feature at all, however there are many many spam comments in the news section, that can be seen from the Admin Centre.
