Forum Spammed with "Free word processing application"

What's going on with the forum being spammed by multiple new users looking for "Free word processing application"

One user creates a thread at 9.55 and at 10.00 responds in another thread with a different answer than they received themselves.

Its someone spamming for "WPS Office Free" very annoying.

It's very annoying alright. Hopefully they can be IP banned or something.

Best way to stop it is probably no one to visit the site or reply to the threads.

Well looks like admin is cleaning up the forum so hopefully the ban hammer will be righteous and swift.
