    Presume they will all be coming from either 1 IP or 1 range of IPs; would have thought they could be easily blocked so anything from that IP or range won't make its way onto the forum

    What MaineBlue said ^^^^^ :rotfl:

    I would have thought that such a large website as MSE would have had better protection against attacks like this.

    It does happen quite regular :o

    They would be using multiple IP addresses here on this and even one person/spambot creating this many posts can bounce across many ip addresses with ease and go by undetected quite easy, Having them stopped is like playing cat and mouse really.
