Earlier this week, KFFOTV.com experienced a huge jump in visitors and an unprecedented posting of comments on its Web site. These posts, with origins from Vietnam to Columbia, were the direct result of spammers trying to post links in an effort to sway our loyal viewers away from our product.

As such, our news updates ceased for nearly a week while technical support staff wrestled with the program. Our solution: require case-sensitive words to be typed in order to post comments. This idea is not new, but will decrease our spam comments considerably.

Remember, if you have want to comment on a story, feel free to, but keep it free of advertisements or overt profanity.

The "CAPCHA" method, added a few days ago, helps ensure bots and spammers cannot hijack our comments system.
