We are experiencing a spambot invasion right now Annie..



Hopefully it won't last too long..



I believe they quickly get bored and move on to another forum.

Well over 100 posters have either been banned or had their handles deleted today..



I think I will be dropping by on my breaks and during my lunch tomorrow.

Took me a little to figure it out as I've never had to before (except a post awhile back). Glad to help and I'll keep an eye out for more spamming threads. Hopefully the person will get even more bored and go do something else.

It is many, many people Annie..



Most of them are in Russia and Ukraine..



I do not think it will last that long, but we'll see.

Hmmm in Russia and Ukraine? There's a few programs that are free to download and pick what country to change they're IP to, making it look as if they are somewhere else.

They posted using the Cyrillic alphabet..



I used to live in Kazakhstan, so I am familiar with it a little bit..



This happened to other forums I have posted on in the past and it never lasted that long.

The Cyrillic alphabet? Is that the language in Russia and Ukraine or Kazakhstan?

It is the alphabet used in Russia as well as some other countries in that area..



Russian is one of the official languages in Kazakhstan.

Gary Choking the Chicken, you must be a f*cking racist moron with shite for brains to think that Hornungism spammed by the racist idiot moron troll Gambino in a little read discussion group would show up in Oxford English dictionary.
