Certainly this topic has been addressed, but i do not see (conspicuously, at least) a search field. Hmph.
Regardless. 2 part question.
1. How do i delete, in "one fell swoop" (eg. in one click, as it were), all of the existing spam commentary?
2. How do i prohibit non-registered users from adding commentary (aside from SQL injection, or other means of hacking the system)?
I didn't realize i've so much garbage filling the database.

In version 5.0.5 there is a "comment spam bankruptcy" tool but I think you're using 4.1.
The easiest may be to upgrade to v5.
v5 also has easy settings for preventing non registered users from commenting. I believe this is also available in 4.1 but I don't remember precisely.
