Major uptick in spam comments … somehow seems to be bypassing Disqus?

[ad_1]

Normally I rely on Disqus for comments on my blog …and don’t check the ‘pending’ comments section very often

However, I noticed a couple days ago 1000s of spam comments under ‘pending’ – and while clearing them out is doable (and only mildly annoying), I went *years* with nary a comment popping there (since Disqus is *supposed* to be handling comments)

Is there a configuration I can set to redisable native comments so they go back to being handled by Disqus?

This morning I disabled comments on posts older than X many days (but don’t want that to conflict with Disqus, of course)
