OK, someone is spamming my site with some kind of script posting a bunch of comments. How to I stop them? How do I turn off registration?

PLEASE HELP!!!

For now I renamed the register.php to stop the bot. I need a better solution though.

Actually, my method was a bit crude. I when it the FTP side and renamed the file for now. I haven't done anything else yet as I'm trying to clean up the spam.

A very basic Akismet anti-spam module is available here. Please let me know (in that thread) if it works. Also, it only monitors NEW submissions and comments, will not do anything about existing stuff.

What happens when the bots start making posts with the 100++ members it signed up?

What are we going to do Ash can we delete these users some how? not 1 by 1 but in a mass delete?
