hi there!

because of a spam flood on some of my images, i deleted them from the blog. further i checked that therre is no more entry in the database...but...it didnīt really work.
now i get spams on deleted images (http://www.fischimglas.de/index.php?showimage=313) that is caught by akismet but not shown in the admin panel, so i have to log in the myphpadmin-thing to delete those comments manually. has anyone an idea? or any experience with that?

setup is pixelpost 1.6/now 1.7.1.

*sorry for my bad english*

You should use the <TOKEN> from the spam control options, this will inhibit posting comments which don't come from the original comment form. Read more here: http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/TemplateTags/TOKEN and in your admin options page (spam control)

If comments are cought by Akismet the spam comments should get deleted automatically after the time you've set for Akismet keep, no matter if they are shown or not.

Besides it would be a better solution not to delete the images but to set them to "no comments".
