I've de-activated the offending accounts so that they can't continue to post.
I'm hoping that an admin will be able to delete all their posts in one button click as for me to do it one by one would take forever!!

It will be an automated bot attack, so no direct purpose other than trying to spread the bot net.
They just search for forums that they can automate account creation on, then post messages.

Crazy spam attack!! I counted 27 pages. Hope Admin get's this sorted quickly. Such a rubbish thing to do to a great site like this. First time I have seen so many spam posts. Has it happened like this before?

When is an upgrade of forum software planned?
Or at least use registration check for not being robot with either "captcha" element, or more basic, a picture with question

Agreed, good question. I've just subscribed to support further development of the forum.....at least something good can come out of the spam attack

I prefer the Chinese spammers to Stanton's tosh.

In the meantime start some new subjects to push the spam off the front page, if it is possible.

It's probably better for the moderators to just delete the threads. There are a lot of them but it shouldn't take that long to do.

Hmmh. Coincidentally timed just after Gavin Williamson's sacking.
No-one must be protecting the nation now.

Hmm...Maybe that's the impression he's trying to give.
I can see him now sat there on his computer firing up all the spambots with nonsensical chinese spam.

Would be better to solve this structurally. Prevent bot registration. Captcha or otherwise.

you are assuming it is bots, the Kitchen spammers were humans, which is why they were hard to shut down. This may be the same given the attack appears to be from China.

If they are bots it might seem strange that they are only running during China business hours...
