Todays issues were actually network issues, I thought they were DDOS attacks as well, which we have been having for the last little while,a concerted effort to cause trouble. We've had these in the past. To be honest i'm not sure that the spam is connected, although it might be, the spam is a hard one as it's real people joining and doing it, we're blocked thousands of IPs and even some countries but there's always some from somewhere that get through because they are real. We had one today that i sorted out 3 times and each time he joined with a different IP (after the previous one was blocked)
Such is life though, we're getting some updates done soon (i expected them to be done already) which will help some more.
In regards to the reporting, thanks to you all for that, especially yesterday when there was some distasteful stuff posted. I would say though that if there's someone putting up lots of spam posts just report one, we stop them and then check all their posts and we can bulk remove/delete them.
Thanks all
