1You must be referring to our pal the Supreme Lord Krishna (10K only). I flagged two of these this morning, one on SO and the other on Programmers. Apparently there are multiple users involved.– Frédéric HamidiSep 26, 2013 at 9:42

Yes, it seems to be quiet at the moment. There have been posts over all stacksites with always the same spamcontent, 3 usernames, which did not seem to be related between the sites. I just could not flag fast enough since I had to log on, on the different sites first.– bummiSep 26, 2013 at 9:43

2Just as an FYI, we're as aware of this as you are. Let's hope the good folks at SE will step in soon.– BoltClock's a UnicornSep 26, 2013 at 9:46

2Folks on Music: Practice & Theory are actually trying to suggest more appropriate sites for this junk. Now that's good, dedicated people :)– Frédéric HamidiSep 26, 2013 at 9:47

@FrédéricHamidi: But but but but...but that answer should be a comment!– Time Traveling BobbySep 26, 2013 at 9:52

Ouch.. Was it spam? I just flagged one here– KrishnabhadraSep 26, 2013 at 9:53

@M.NightDemonbobby, indeed. I suspect its author posted it as an answer in jest. I won't flag it, the question will not remain around long enough for it to be worth the effort :)– Frédéric HamidiSep 26, 2013 at 9:53

The attack restarted a view minutes ago ....– bummiSep 27, 2013 at 7:31

You don't want practical explanations about the purpose of human life from someone who spends his time doing… this? You should really open your mind.
keeps reading the spam text
What? No coffee? No meat? I can't get on board with this philosphy. Activate kill switch!
All posts gone, and they shouldn't be able to come back either.

@Yannis I'd rather not say what exactly I did to prevent new ones :) Note that the examples here (thanks all!) are all from before that, I just missed them on my deletion spree. Sep 26, 2013 at 12:04

I posted the identical question a few days ago, about the exact same spam, and was told to flag it, and not post about it here. What should someone do if they see dozens of copies of the same spam?– dcaswellSep 26, 2013 at 12:15

4@user814064 For a wide-spread spam attack like that guy, posting here is fine. But you have to provide some context -- all your "question" contained was two links. Sep 26, 2013 at 12:18

Thanks what would be the correct thing to say? This? Spam Attack Syystem-Wide please help?– dcaswellSep 26, 2013 at 12:40
