Do you mean in addition to those about 3000 that we saw in QA?
(have a nice weekend...)

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Yes.
These are the ones that didn't make it into QA!
And it's a page refresh for each individual item in there...

Makes me wonder by which criterion the messages that made it into QA were rated as non-spam

You can hit several before the refresh, but to fight fire with fire we'll need a tool.

My missus says that all the Chinese ones are spam, so if anyone can batch whammy them, so much the better.
I've asked her to fire off a few e-mails to her buddies, informing them of the loss of face that this is causing.

Why do Laurel & Hardy and sodas come to mind?
If it starts up again, I'd suggest closing new membership registration for an hour, till their bot gets bored.

Not a bad idea! Trouble is the living breathing hamsters might not be aware yet - quarter to 9 on a Sunday morning ...

I'd love to help, but I'm not a moderator so can't sorry
Anyway I'm sure as soon as Chris passes by they will all get the boot in one hit

Please help kicking the spammers in QA -
Spammer-Lists in the Spam&Abuse forum
edit: some still need more kicks

It seems attack stopped a half hour ago, but still over 130 pages of spam messages there...

My arm is sore from deleting them - one bot got over 300 posts in under two minutes...

I wore out the left mouse button kicking the SOBs. $15 worth of damage! Whom do I sue?
|

China.
The mouse was probably made there, and they caused it to wear out...

That puts a new perspective on spam attacks - they don't care if you click their links or if you delete the post - you'll have to buy a new mouse in any case

However, I have some consolation: My reputation scored over a hundred points, helping to kick them into the next commie universe

Decided to create my own backup system (as I'm fed up with none of them doing exactly what I wanted)
And since I'm moving to GIT under VS2013, I started there.
Eventually worked out how to create a repo and connect it to a VS project again - and wrote a quick Tip so I stand a chance of remembering next time.
And then I started "filling in the blanks". Created the DAL project in the solution, committed, synced.
And because I like to know these things, checked the BitBucket Repo...no source files in the new project. the .prk file was there, but no source.
Long story short: if you look in your gitignore file that VS creates, it specifically excludes anything starting with "backup"... so everything in my BackupOrganiser DAL project is totally ignored.
That's a morning wasted, then...
Delete the project, commit, sync, create with a new name, commit, sync...and it works...

A bit OT - why BitBucket (I'm too used it for my last two projects and liked it, but still curious)?
