Are you using Showit blog (aka WordPress) and getting a TON of spam comments?
I was too (UUGGHHH).
I reached out to Showit and they suggested making sure to have it set to approve comments before someone posts on your site, however this doesn’t really solve the issue.
They said “other than that, there isn’t much that can be done as, unfortunately, those people who play with comments sections in WordPress always seem to find loopholes for the spam blockers.”
I asked if they could put another spam plugin in my Showit account (or give me the capabilities to add the plugin) because I was spending everyday going in and spam-ing/ trash-ing comments, but they couldn’t/ wouldn’t do this.
SO PLAN B!
Completely delete the blog post and re-create it as a Showit page, that way there is no place for them to leave comments.

In the above video I also showed my freebies page (that was the page that initially had SOME of the tools that I chose to copy). If you want to check out that page, GO HERE.
