After having recently upgraded PP to 6.2 with a UBB7 integration we are having lots of problems with comment SPAM. This morning I have again had to delete over 2000 SPAM comments.

Usergroups settings as follows:

Administrator -
Admin Access? Yes
Mod Access? Yes
Allow Uploads? Yes
Allow comments? Yes
Require Moderation? No
Allow edit own photos? Yes
Allow edit own posts? Yes
Allow albums? Yes
Assign Albums to Cats? Yes

GlobalModerators -
Admin Access? No
Mod Access? Yes

The 'Guests' usergroup is for unregistered users, however with the above settings they are still able to comment on photos, leaving lots of SPAM which is now becoming a pain.

Is anyone else having similar problems?

TIA,

Bill.
