Wow, that is out of hand. Maybe there's a way to automatically block posts with foreign words/characters in? Other than that, there surely needs to be some night owl/aussie mods if it becomes a regular occurrence.
So it appears the forum has been spammed by some Korean bot!

Ironically, I was up at 03:30 this morning and went out the door at 04:20. Normally I have a quick look at the forums before I go out but for some reason I didn’t do it today. If I had, I’d have had this lot cleaned up very quickly.
The first I saw was when I got to the services at Cobham on the M25 at 06:15 for breakfast and started hitting the ban button.

You'd be surprised at how often we deal with (at a lower level) before anything is noticed by most of the users
In this case it happened in about a 2 hour window and the sheer volume meant it took more time than usual to clean up, there are measures in place that mean it's unlikely to happen again
(we've usually got mods popping in throughout the night as well).

Pretty similar timings here, I got in from the cinema at about 3, had a look around and started watching some stuff on netflix at about 4 and didn't look again till ~6:30 and started hitting ban and delete.
I was having a big nr 2. By the time I was finished deleting my legs were numb and I staggered from the thunderbox

Good to know it may just be a freak one off then that slipped through the net
That was a close one.
Once beyond the event horizon the only way out is to fall off the pan and wait for the feeling to return. Not a good look.Deleted member 651465

Given that the moderators can still see the deleted threads, it feels like I’ve taken a trip to Korea when I click in to some sub forums.
As we know, South Korea is best Korea.

I'd argue the bot posted more meaningful content than 60% of the posters in GD.
So ... who's really the villain in this piece?

Your mistake is to come here for meaningful content.
True dedication!!
