Good thing we have some users like you doing the right thing which is reporting the post and start a thread to spread awareness for the spam acitivity.

The problem seems to be solved. The Japanese board got back to normal. Thank you very much for our moderator and global moderators!!
This is because if one will going to act accordingly then issues will be resolved immediately and it will not gets worst. The moderators were doing great also in the forum.

Good jobs moderators, now the spams have been deleted.  This was the first time for the Japanese local board to be attacked by such massive spams more than 100 posts in a short time.  I guess it has been happening daily in the altcoin section but for the Japanese local board it was very easy to identify it as the Japanese local board does not have many posts daily.

For later convenience, I archived the threads before the spams were deleted:


You can see that they are similar messages with the "Go to our website" link at the end, and are posted by Newbie accounts with several Activities.  These Newbie accounts have the same pattern of the usernames and were registered at similar time.  Examples are

The spams were advertising "Elirtex" whose announcement thread was created today.

np.

But this is a really serious problem.
I think it is necessary to prohibit creating multiple accounts from the same IP in a short time.
Thank you for your time and consideration.


Please send this opinion to theymos.

To live is to think
This is a serious situation of Japanese board.
I also reported it and PM to Japanese local moderator about this situation.
However, I know local moderators don't have authority to do IP-BAN.

Does anyone know should we(not staff) directly PM it to Global Moderators if this kind of massive spam attack happen?
I know the report guidance by welsh but there is no description about directly PM to Global Mods.

I think we should PM them as soon as possible because massive spam attack obviously break a function of board.

Japanese board is being attacked by spammers. Over 150 spam postings are done with more than 50 threads.
He/She posted the referral link and continue to post the content that advertise a specific website.
For example, the following thread is an example. It is using multiple Newbie accounts, but they are probably the same person.
