What a mess - on a Sunday too (probably deliberately so).

I'm impressed by their work rate. I hope they get paid per post.

22 pages of threads in GG so far and still posting.

Most impressive.

I'd have some sympathy for the mods if each one was a new user creating an account and instantly making a new post, in some sort of distributed attack - but this is just one user! Hopefully removing a user and all of their posts is a simple operation when a mod wakes up hehe

Could a limit to the number of new threads started per hour be applied? no genuine user would start a volume of new threads per hour?

Pathetic that a website of this profile and popularity doesn't have anyone moderating it for such a long period of time.

More moderators needed, I'm sure there are some long standing members of the site who live in different time zones who wouldn't mind volunteering to wield a temporary ban hammer.

Overall security of PH needs considering. HTTPS, Captcha, IP monitoring of new users.

The PH approach to forums has always had a whiff of amateurism and stuff like this really shows it up.

Its pretty embarrassing for what is now a relatively big business.

If the spammer was naming and shaming instead they'd have been gone long ago.

@Pistonheads is busy posting on Twitter. Because an old Renault is more important than the site's integrity.
