The mods have their work cut out for them this morning...

I don't check this forum every day and I haven't been paying attention to this issue, but this morning the spam level is pretty high. I'm surprised by this (partly because none of the other forums I frequent have this problem) but maybe this happens a lot these days and I just haven't noticed.
 
Is it common knowledge that the mods don't watch the forum as closely on the weekends so the spammers hit harder on those days? Or is this forum normally less moderated than others, which invites the spammers?
 
Just as an observation (and not that I'm a conspiracy theorist) but it seems to me that, for a spammer to put so much effort into the multiple posts here, it is more than just random spamming, that someone has an agenda.

I believe that Andrew posted a couple days ago that Cakewalk was moving offices. That may be why they are not on top of it...usually they seem to keep it out by and large. But you're right that moron with his nonsense is really pumping it in. Sad.
 
I did report it though.

Hi,
 
Are you accusing my friends Bapu and Craig of spam'ing?
 
I'll get that whammy bar in a second!

As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

What do you mean "now?" 
 
FWIW, another forum (non-music related) that I'm a senior moderator on got hit over the night as well.

But if it was non-music we would not understand a word of it.

Actually, only about 10k are non-music related and those are dart related.  Of course, since I'm considered an "expert" in that area (unlike my musical mangling), I tend to have to be more serious in my replies with a lot less fluff posts (and I HATE doing that!).
