Spam at the Ao3?

[foxyfurs]

Been getting a lot of spam comments on just one of my stories at the AO3 the past week. Does anyone know why they're targeting just that one? Do I simply delete them, or juts mark them as spam?

I'm not sure. I know I tend to report LJ spam...then decide to delete the comments anyway. I don't like them cluttering my stories.

AHA:

What is a spam comment? What can I do about spam?

A spam comment is a comment automatically posted by a machine, often containing links to other websites or advertising. The same comment posted many different places where it isn't wanted can also be spam.

If you receive a spam comment on one of your works, follow the 'Spam' link that will appear for comments from unregistered users to report it to us. This will screen the comment from other users. You need to choose 'Delete' to delete it altogether.

Ewwww, spam. :(

Locking it will probably work in the short term, but definitely report the spam to the AO3, because 90 comments is just ridiculous and way more than you should have to handle on your own.
