Chinese DDOS at Comics and Animation!!!?
Just go there. They've gone crazy. Possibly a bot who hacked or mass-created multiple accounts.
Please do something about it.

There is a spam attack and they will show up on the All categories / Open questions & Recent.
That has has been going on for weeks. The Category they take over the most is Comics and Animation.
It must be a bot since they post faster than is humanly possible. Reporting them does not make a dent in the hundreds of them being posted.
The Y!A team is aware of it happening...The problem stopping them is they are using different IP addresses so one gets flagged and 50 more don't.
I just send an email to the team about a Category Spam attack and they clear them out and an hour later they are back at it.

Given the degree of control that the PRC government has over their internet, something like this must have at least the tacit approval of that government. This amounts to an attack on a US business by a foreign state. Why isn't there a counterattack?
