Looks like a spam outbreak

This is already worse than yesterday.

+1 on the time limit on reporting posts getting lifted temporarily.

Somebody's got to do something about this. Fo realz.

If they are using just a few IPs or the IPs are in a range, they can be blocked. If the forum software won't do it, htaccess will.

I was a member of a site that had a group of users that could hide posts. The posts weren't deleted, just flagged as hidden so they didn't display until a full mod took a look at it. An over-zealous member of the group couldn't do much harm; if the post was improperly flagged, the mod just unflagged it and it reappeared. Our group was scattered around the globe so we usually had 24/7 monitoring. I have no idea how it was implemented but it worked very well.
