In case it has escaped your attention, the FFZ comments board has been hit by spammers.

As a countermeasure,I have programmed the comments scripts to redact every attempt to post a clickable link in the comment section for everything except for the usersname.

Once a spammer has been identified, his/her IP number is being placed in a special list and posting privileges are denied with every attempt... silently and without notice.

It's not like this is a well funded operation like Huffington's Post. I can only take so much theft from anonymous sources before taking countermeasures.

If you have something to add, Fire Away!
