    I already traced the IP, and it was a proxy, and I also suspect I know who is behind it as well...

    OK Guys, can we all try and not point the blame publicly at anyone, as stated in the thread, the spam attack was made via a proxy, so there is no trace on who, what, or why these people did such a thing.

    We can all suspect who we like, but it would be best to keep these suspicions to ourselves rather than pointing the finger at anyone and everyone possible and cause chaos on the community.

    I got a PM from someone posing as the administrator, and I reported it. A new member giving me a so-called "Infraction" How lovely. Thankfully the images weren't clickable, so I just reported it.
