Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Spam attack

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.

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.

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...
