Hickory: I disagree. Like I said, doing it piecemeal will not help in the slightest. For the past two days the only forums hit to any extent are BG, NWN and TW2. If you want to help, far better to mark those three forums as favourites, and if/when you have time, do all three. Because spam is removed by site code, the more people on it the better.
Maxvorstadt: Okay, Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter Nights and Two Worlds 2 will be favoritized!
The Witcher 2, not Two Worlds 2. Also, the Might and Magic forum took a good bit of flak yesterday. Fallout did to a lesser extent, but those two have been mostly quiet today.
toxicTom: It's a bot, just look at the generated names. There have been different bots at work, the one that swamped TW2 created several threads a minute with the same username.
The currently working bot creates a new user every 1-2 minutes and makes one post in each target forum (currently NWN, BG and TW2), then it makes another user. That's why it's a lot slower than the thing from yesterday and the day before where it was posting faster than we could delete them.
As I said before - there seems to be some human interaction involved, since a few of the spam waves started with a single post containing only garbage (tttt) obviously for testing. That's why I don't get what the spammers are trying achieve here.
I figured the variable length messages (including blank messages), the test posts, the relatively slow speed of creation (sometimes), and the way the spam shows up mostly around the same time during the day implied a few humans on the other end. I can only guess wildly about possible reasons for the spamming: 1) someone wants to attract traffic to a site(s), 2) someone wants to increase (or decrease) the search result listing of a site, 3) someone is really, REALLY bored, 4) someone wants to take a bot on a test run. I don't see any reason for this to target GOG in particular (most of the wild guesses I just provided could be applied to any site), because this isn't really doing much except providing some combination of irritation and entertainment to some of our forum users.
I can't truthfully say I'm overly attached to this theory, but it made sense to me.
toxicTom: And btw. the latest spam accounts claim to be from the UK.
Maybe they are trying to get the UK known for having a large Korean speaking language? :D
