    [Blog] BLOG SPAM - How to combat with the lack of a "Delete as Spam" moderation tool

    We're finding difficulty keeping up with blog spam on a few of our forums.

    #1 - There isn't a remove all comments option in vb to easily get rid of a lot of spam comments from one member. - I'd like to suggest that vbulletin check into adding this feature.

    #2 - If I enable akismet anti-spam service, will it also review blog and article comments?

    Looking for recommendations and experiences from anyone here...

      I am getting a lot of blog spam myself, it would be nice if I could kill 20 spam blog posts and ban the user quickly. Right now it takes a few minutes.

              Akismet, it is an anti-spam service that checks new posts on your forums and blogs to see if they are spam and hide them if they are.



              Adding "Delete as Spam" in the blog should be considered for a future enhancement.

                    Don't allow new users to make blog posts, or comments.
