    Hi to everyone,
    I've a spam problem with my blog: http://blogs.thesims3.it
    There's a lot of spam subscrivers, with names like tina0549484 john04984 with different emails and domains and I don't know ho to prevent them!
    They'r annoying me because if I don't delete them, they start posting on their blogs with spam words (without any link).
    How can I do?
    Thanks in advance

    There are lots of anti-spam options from simple things like Captchas through to much more complicated systems like Akismet and Montyspam.

    You may want to search the forums for 'splog registrations' as this has been discussed many many times previously.

    Other solutions include moderating signups, renaming the signup page, rewording the signup page text, blocking ip addresses that are known for creating splogs, and just deleting them when they show up since you;re going to have them no matter what you do.
