# [Plugin: Facebook Comments for WordPress] Spam!

 * Hi,
 * wonderful plugin, thanks for creating and maintaining it. I have one small issue,
   and I’d like to address it.
 * I’ve got comment spam like mad… like 6/hr. The worst part is that the spammers
   seem to have a way to use the default wordpress commenting option some way or
   another, because the comment spam is all captured by Akismet but obviously posted
   as a ‘real’ wordpress comment below any random post.
 * How can this be done? Do spammerbots have ways of disabling fb comments in favor
   of the default wp commenting system??
 * Thanks for any help with this.

 * I have the same problem;
 * Am using Facebook comments exclusively on the site, but spam comments are caught
   by Akismet through the standard comment system (presumably spambots that directly
   target the comments php script).
    I know I can get rid of this by disabling comments
   for each post, but this will also disable Facebook comments. Is there a way around
   this?
 * Thanks

 * I also still haven’t found a solution for this. It’s what you said: if you disable
   WP comments, you’re also disabling FB comments….
