  • if you comenting system is not protecte by a human verifiction check (captcha) system of any kinds, you WILL get alot of spam posts from bots, full of ghibberish (random letters & links). if this is the case, juts delete them. The bots are trained to find submission forms and populate them. They`re the reson captcha was invented i assume.
    Sorry, all i can think of without more details

    Without image verification/ captcha then you will waste a lot of time dealing with spam.

    It is not dangerous but they may link to virus/spyware or spam websites.
  • Yes you need a captcha system. Try reCAPTCHA: Stop Spam, Read Books they are really good
  • Yea, you need to use captcha or something to plug the root cause.

    Here's an easy tutorial on creating your own captcha:

  • Another way to stop it is to force people to use their facebook / twitter account to post.
