I have been LiveJournaling a lot less than I used to. Still, there is a whole lot of personal history and comment wrapped up in my LJ that I would hate to let it go entirely. But the spam attacks are getting to such a ridiculous level that I am seriously thinking of deleting the whole thing.

Enable Comments If you set this to "Friends", then these bespoke spam accounts will be blocked right there. So, unfortunately, will visitors and the anonymous.
Comment Screening Screen non-Friends will prevent the spam from showing up, but you'll still have to go through and clean them out, looking for the Ham (the actual messages amongst the dross).
Spam Protection probably couldn't hurt, and
Captcha should probably be set to be shown to all non-Friends at least until the storm is over. Presuming that it's a bot attack, and not "mongolian hordes" (which is actual people posting for pennies a spam.)
