LQ under attack!

80 kazillion posts, written in Korean talking about "massage" are clogging the Newbies forum. I've reported this but as things stand the Newbies forum is unusable.

Thanks. The best way to report this is using the "Report" button on the initial thread.

*Pro tip for those want to help us with spam reporting: please check if there's different user accounts involved and how many posts they've made. Becasue after the 30th spam report on the same user you'll be "spamming" our Reported Posts board as well! (Please realize we've got to clean those up too).

Nobody ever said that "running a forum" was easy. The Moderator team just makes it look easy.
