Too much comment spam.

[baratron]

I have finally disabled anonymous comments. If anyone who doesn't have a livejournal wishes to contact me, then email to baratron at livejournal dot com works.

Although I'm not sure if this is enough, given that the latest scam is to set up a throwaway livejournal account to comment from. If I see that "I have a massive crush on you" spam message one more time, I will scream. There should be a way to disable further comments on old posts without also deleting the comments that are already there.

I hope that I won't have to switch to friends-only commenting, because that rather gets in the way of making new friends, but we'll see.

15 times for me. Different usernames, but all from the same bloody IP address. You'd have thought simply blocking that would be a good place to start...

Actually, I wonder if I can block it myself?

I disabled anonymous comments about 2 months ago, and I only had 2 comments from throwaway accounts during that time. That was up until yesterday, when I got 4 copies of that spam comment in the same day. I deleted 3 of them (and blocked those accounts); the 4th account had already been suspended.

I'm still screening the comments from non-friends, so at least I'm the only person who has to see this stuff. I've also found (like you) that particular posts keep getting hit.
