Just look how many new users there have been today, all with names that look like they could have been randomly generated.
There was also some inappropriate material on here for a short while posted by one of these names. |

We haven't had any comments from the Admins on this problem (a post from them would be helpful).
It's my guess that only a small range of IP addresses are involved with the current attack, which could be banned without affecting anyone's freedom of speech. But we won't know if it's coming from a single source, or whether the site has suddenly appeared in a general spammer's list of sites to hit unless the Admins tell us. |
