It hasn't infected the GalCiv2 forum (yet) but it's running rampant through pretty much all the others. If you view the forums by clicking on the "Everything" link you shouldn't notice it much (again yet) but clicking on Forums and More Recent Posts shows pretty much nothing but this 'bot.

Preventing any post with the characters "anonymous" from entering the database should do the trick. Let them spam all day if it doesn't get into the forum. There is no human monitoring it for counter measures.

I've deleted all of the spam posts on threads cross-syndicated here.

The problem is that Anonymous posting is actually allowed on JoeUser, and that some JU categories are also shown here (note that those categories were the only ones spammed). Unfortunately I can't do anything more than delete the posts; an actual fix would be up to the web team when they get back from the holiday break.

Thanks. Good to know it couldn't get to the GalCiv2 forum. Nasty 'bots.
