Anyone know how these sustained attacks work? Yeah talking about the FUDGERPOOPER who’s been bombarding us. What is their purpose? Just wondering. ---

I’m trying to get ready for work, but I contacted the powers that be for some back up because I can’t do this without the tools Doug had as head mod. McKenzie is probably at work treating a dog or a cat. Hopefully the cavalry comes soon because I’m about to leave for work and can’t do a thing without some back up. I’ll be back this evening to see what more I can do or if any back up has come. It’s my guess that it’s a bot at the rate it’s posting spam. ---

My guess is they are paid advertisements. That is, the person who posts them gets paid by the click. Don’t click on them. ---

Well, the fact they are posting at least 4 posts a minute if not 5, it has to be a bot. I have to go to work, but I’ll be back later this evening to see what I else I can do, but right now, I can’t do anything else. As I said, I’ve sent for back up to the powers that be and maybe I can do more this evening or it will be fixed already and the bot/spammer will be blocked and banned. In case you’re wondering, Doug had more mod powers than I do, thus part of the problem currently and hopefully remedied soon. ---

This has gotten even weirder. I’ve only signed up for notifications to a few threads, but this morning my in box is loaded up with a pages worth of that same SPAM hits. (I haven’t clicked to open any of them, here or in my gmail.)   ---

Don’t click on them. However, even if you did, you wouldn’t get anywhere because they’ve been removed from the board. The cavalry did come in while I was at work the last couple of days and any spam that occured during that time, should be gone now. Any I see of an evening after I get home, I try to get ASAP. ---

Weirdly interesting, those names and text changes, is that a hidden message?   ---

I wonder if posting breaks the spell.
