Hello.

After installation Komento through a couple of days noticed a very heavy load on the server. in the logs 99% of the records of this POST like:
158.181.151.53 - - [11/Feb/2014:00:01:22 +0400] "POST /?option=com_komento HTTP/1.0" 302 13
77.108.119.162 - - [11/Feb/2014:00:01:22 +0400] "POST /?option=com_komento HTTP/1.0" 302 33
188.242.46.227 - - [11/Feb/2014:00:01:22 +0400] "POST /?option=com_komento HTTP/1.0" 302 33
83.219.130.179 - - [11/Feb/2014:00:01:22 +0400] "POST /?option=com_komento HTTP/1.0" 302 13

Such queries more than 100 per second.
I opened a few pages and saw that with my address also go for POST requests,although I did not send.

What to do ?
Hello Alex,

I am assuming that someone is trying to spam your comments. We can't really stop them through the script because every request made would trigger your webserver. The best is to block them on the network layer

of course, my site is under attack.
but I think when i open the page with comments, component constantly checks (javascript) if there are new comments, and displays them.
how to disable this setting ?

Hello Alex,

Those javascripts shouldn't do any damage to your site at all. I think it's the initial page request that is problematic. What you should do now is to contact your hosting provider to log down these ip addresses and block them on the network layer.
