The Center for Intercultural Dialogue’s WordPress site (this one you are now viewing) has suddenly been besieged with hundreds of spam comments.
Typically, there have been a few each day, but these have been increasing, until there were 151 attempts to post spam in a single day. After a bit of research, and discussion with the Council of Communication Associations, it seems that the obvious move is to remove the option to post comments on the site, something other organizations have often done. Given that very few legitimate comments are posted, this does not seem like a hardship for very many followers. If you want to talk about content on the site, feel free to send me an email. If you want to write content for the site, again, send an email.
