This is kinda small potatoes (in the greater scheme of Webs' issues).

5 years ago, before creating the forum, I started my website as a blog.

Only ever wrote two articles, per se, one of them was an introduction:

It's sat there, quite innocuously, since 29th January 2012, without (from memory) ever attracting a single comment. That was until a week ago - 23rd January 2017 (a couple of weeks after the switch to Cloudflare hosting) when the first SPAM comment appeared. I tried reporting it as SPAM (no effect). I've tried deleting it umpteen times, but it doesn't go away.

There are now 3 SPAM comments and the 'Delete' button doesn't work.

I've logged a call with Misty in Customer Support - reference 1182910.

  I am having the same problem. Since being with CloudFlare, I got a bunch of spam and garbage comments on my blog.

   

  I think someone is targeting all websites listed with CloudFlare.

  Update. I received an email from Jenny yesterday evening, in reply to the call I raised on Saturday, with Misty in Customer Support - reference 1182910.

   I suspect they haven't seen this topic. So here's the full set of screen prints from:

  My main issue is that I am unable to delete these SPAM comments.

  The Delete button does not work !

  Bump. Another new (4th) SPAM comment added to my Blog this morning:

  My issue is the same - that I am unable to delete these SPAM comments.

  The Delete button does not work !

  Jenny subsequently deleted the 4 SPAM comments left on my blog article (on 15th February), but it appears that the issue of the non-functional 'Delete' button was not resolved. Yesterday another SPAM comment was left - and I'm unable to delete it as before.

  My blog app in the site builder still doesn't want to load or properly save my drafts. Also, my newest blogs are not listed on my home page and there is a spambot named MichaelVed, that will not stop spamming an older blog, that I published months ago. Here is the spammer in the comments section of my blog: http://itsnotallgumdropsandunicorns.webs.com/apps/blog/show/44471215-song-saturday-the-bangles-walk-like-an-egyptian
