it seems that all the spam has stopped.
thx for all the replies.

thank you for taking the time to reply to me.
i have followed all the advices and i have also read the article.
Everything is disabled now.
thx again

I have upgraded from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 and enabling akismet right now.

it raises a big question mark for me that I have only one registered used, the option that only registered users can post comments (only me), no new users allowed, comments are disabled and yet, the new comment submissions are here. How is this possible?
I am looking into a complete full 2.0.2 reinstall with admin and database password change, although if somebody would hack this i doubt it that all the done damage is 3 spam comments. (i am 99.99999999% sure that this is not a lost password or a break in).

ok, thx for all the replies.
i will disable that as well.
(although, even with that, why the option that only registered users can post?and still, with that on off, post can still be posted)
and also, how come i got no spam since august and just today i get 3 of them? all this time with the same settings….
my question still remains, how it is possible to input data into my database when all related options are disabled?

Sorry for the missing info, i am using Wprdpress 2.0.1 and updating to 2.0.2 right now.
What I am not clear about is that I have enabled “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” and “Anyone can register” disabled. This should STOP all comments, spam+users+alltogether, right?
I am not aware what trackback means (allow pings?). “Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)” and “Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)” are enabled and “Allow people to post comments on the article” is disabled.
Thanks for all the fast replies.
