Hey FF users, I just want to say thanks to those of you that are flagging spam comments for us. I've decided to take a more aggressive approach to fighting this problem. Now certain countries are completely banned from accessing the site, like India, since 100% of all visitors from India are spammers. Netherlands, Italy and Panama are next on my list, but because of the measures we've taken i haven't seen too much from them anymore. Amsterdam is the worst, because they are kinda known for their anonymous public proxys that spammers bounce off of to conceal their actual location. So anyway after doing many database queries, I've successfully deleted more than 3200 spam comments from Fresno Famous!

spam free

good to know it's becoming spam free again, too bad for the people from India. They will not be able to read the site, but then why would they?
Maybe we should find a local web site in India and post unrelated stuff on their sites. LOL. If we did that it would remind me of the days when BBS's and the IRC would have little 'Wars' and users would flood each others online hang outs, some times even taking over after a split.
