Hackers use spam bots. Semantics is not the issue here.

Appears to be Chinese. My concern is that they defeated the new Chaptcha registration verification, for one. The worse security issue is that the server permissions apparently do not have a set number of post allowed per hour/minute. Or, did they disable it? Being a foreign language with no readable English content makes it possible it's a exploit to test the server. The bad thing is that once there's a bot that has gained permission others are likely to follow very quickly if the Admin does not control it quickly.
The bottom line is that this site has a security issue. I am speaking from experience of running boards over the past 15 years.

Should have known it was you. THANKS! I hate these bots with a passion not to mention the humans behind them. I hope whoever is responsible for the real security of this board looks into the issue. Another security breech is not in their best interest not to mention the users of this board. Enough said. I promised you I wouldn't go there. LOLInteresting. Last I heard Obama got hold of the kill switch.
I just popped a cap in the side of the lil' buggers' head.
Hollar if you find any remaining damage or messes to clean up.
Thanks for the heads up PM...

I thought it was Japanese, since it's a Honda forum.

The spammer's IP address (and reverse DNS PTR record) resolve to a quaint lil' Japanese host (name).
This was no ordinary lone-wolf spammer. I won't go into explaining any of that on the public forums tho.
Right now I gotta figure out a workaround to move/merge all those posts into one thread/location, so I can navigate the site without stepping in fresh doo doo.

Thank god for the masterminds on this forum. I was at a complete loss of what to do. I know engines. Not computer programming lol
I know a lil' bit of both, but this forum software & permissions config (Admins & Developers don't know what they're doing, don't care either) doesn't allow us MODS to properly Moderate. We'll have to wait until Monday for one of the Admins to login and clean up the mess. We'll probably have to teach them how to do that, first tho. :-(
I have moved/merged all 140 posts into one thread (Site help & support forum) in a workaround attempt to clean up the New Posts/Last Day search for us MODs, but that workaround only partially worked. The posts all moved as expected, but the thread titles remained...! LOL!!!!
Those hapless VS morons are only good at making my head hurt. :-(
