Default Increase in post spammers

The WYIOC area seems to be getting hit hard with spammers.

Not sure if this is SNET wide or just in our area.

We've banned about 3 spammers today... is this crap targeting SNET specifically?

Yeah, they are targetting specific forums. We're monitoring this and will pass on the details to the relevant authorities. We already have some good info, but just waiting for a little more before turning the whole lot over.

The ban button is working brilliantly, and they're probably fighting against it currently, which they'll soon realise is basically completely fruitless. Just keep banning them, and they'll give up eventually, as there's no point in posting if nobody reads them.

They will only keep doing it if people click the links.
