If you are the one sending the spam comments/bulletins then changing your password should work.

But if you're receiving the spam comments/bulletins there's nothing you can do about it, other than tell the people sending them to change their password.


It's called being "phished."

Someone made a fake login page somewhere and you signed into it, so they have your password and use your account to spam. Changing your password prevents them from sending the spam comments and bulletins.
