raretrack Hi all, I've started to get regular spam comments on Known. Anything I can do to stop it?

[kevinmarks] do you have an example?

#
[kevinmarks] if you leave create user login open that can happen
#
raretrack I've deleted the spam once I spot it, so no live examples at the mo. My site is set to single-user mode too.
#
raretrack Last spam I got said "People can login their websites and they may have special link for their websites. They can offer great ideas to others through their web sites. They can use web sites for business expansion. They can introduce their new products on web sites" and the link was to a consumer cellular plans website. They all generally follow the same pattern.
