I have a massive problem with spam comments on both of my galleries and I'm wondering how I can prevent this. Is there anything I can install to prevent the spam or is it done through admin config?
If you would have taken the time to use the SEARCH function you would have found this thread:
Captcha plugin: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.0.html (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.0.html)
Also make sure that only registered users can post comments.
Next time do a search before posting, many questions such as this one have been answered before.
Cheers

The spam is from registered users, their usernames are usually like iogdhgi
Captcha plugin should prove a good enough remedy. It can also be used for the registration part of cpg.
Will not help against manual spammers but that can be stopped by reviewing each registration before approving it.
