Closing comments

I’ve searched all over the place, but can’t find it. How can I change the Jot call to still allow comments to be shown, but no new comments to be allowed?

Use the &canpost parameter to disable the public commenting or use empty &tplForm or use &placeholders=`1` and do not use [+jot.html.form+]

Thanks. I’ve already tried the last solution, but that didn’t work. Spam just kept coming in. Could it be that the spammer has stored the form to enter a comment? I’ll try the first solution now, assuming that if you only give a non-existing web group posting rights, then no posting will ever take place. Right?

Correct. And yeah.. the 2 later options probably wouldn’t work against spammers, because you can still POST the comments with scripts and Jot will accept them, even if the form is not available/visible.
