Question......
Are these attacks coming from the same IP address, or the same region?

No, it’s distributed worldwide.

They're back. A bunch of chit chat threads started this morning

I've started to monitor my Chinese bot, Xuefeng Sun, and he's doing his usual duties. Staying on top of the dishes, vacuuming, cleaning the litter and the like. I did set up a web cam to make sure he wasn't logging into magic and doing anything. He seems clean. He does get onto the computer, but it seems to have more to do with an overwhelming love of Tetris.

Well......
It looks like we can scratch him from the list of likely suspects.
Unless he's a deep cover agent and has fooled you as well as the CIA.

The "Disneyland Resort" forum looks swamped right now. Sorry for your head ache.

Some days it's hard to find that perfect balance - Spam versus complaints that too many posts are awaiting moderation.

Hi Mom!!! I freaked out when I came on here last nite and saw Chinese symbols. I was really disheartened about it as I had never seen this before.

Pro tip: Report one thread and then put the poster on ignore. Management will be alerted and all their threads won't show up for you any more.

Reposting @MisterPenguin's pro tip. The tip to ignore the spammer is great at enabling continued use of the forum through these attacks.

Shout out to the mods for cleaning up the spam threads so quickly! They were there like an hour ago, and now they’re all gone! Almost like magic!

Yes last nights was particularly bad. I have a lot going on behind the scenes to try and prevent this kind of attack, but occasionally it makes it through.

and there back again.
