I am getting hammered with tons of spam. Each and every time they "comment" on the photo here http://photos.themezz.com/index.php?showimage=1129

I have "no comments" selectioned and removed from the web page.

Any other way to stop this guy.

165 today alone alll via http://photos.themezz.com/index.php?showimage=1129

thanks,
Joe

Joe, try disabling comments for that particular picture. Removing the comment form probably won't help you since the spammers target the PHP scripts directly without using the comment form on your site.

If you go into the adminpanel, search the image in question and then click edit you can modify the comment settings for that particular image. Make sure it is set to off (the global setting only works from the moment you set it, it doesn't change any previous settings.)

I was under the impression that I *DID* have it set to NO COMMENTS... *BUT* the reality was that I was wrong. I just changed that option for that photo. Thanks for taking the time to reply --I really appreciate that.

Thanks. It did work, but now I need to disable all previous posts to NO COMMENTS ALLOWED. Trying to find an add-on to do that next.

Appreciate your time.

There is an addon on the forums that will do that. I think Dwilkinsjr wrote it.

Anyone have a way to set all previous posts to NO COMMENT. I am getting seriously hammered with spam on various photos now. Hundreds a day.

Dwilkinsjr had an a-don that allowed us to change all posts to NO COMMENT but the D/L link is 404 and he fails to reply to PM's for am updated link.

Anyone have an add-on for this???

[btw .. I am using Defensio which stops thousands of others]

maybee directly in the mysql database, but i donīt know the mysql syntax to chance the "A" to "F" in the datafield "comments" from the table pixelpost_pixelpost.

iīm not sure, it may look like :

UPDATE pixelpost_pixelpost SET comments = replace(comments, 'A', 'F');

in mysqladmin
(make a backup an try ist on your own risk, at my database it work)
