Massive Spam Attack - Mid to late January

Postby Jimmy the Tulip » Wed Feb 03, 2010 4:07 am

We had a spam attack by the user ChloeWilson519 which posted trash to multiple threads.

I have deleted the users posts, the user account and banned by IP.
This also caused spam posts to be posted under the user DeathDiamond. DeathDiamond is a legitimate user but I was forced to delete a couple of his threads (of particular note, his Intro thread).

Thanks for the heads-up, KK. Banned by IP, deleted user and posts.
