There are something like 180 spam threads in the Witcher 2 subforum right now that haven't been flagged enough to automatically be deleted in case any of you intrepid adventurers feel like doing a good deed.

Thanks for the help, both of you (and any lurkers who may have helped out). It looks like they're starting up again, but at least spam mountain was conquered before they could add to its breadth.
A quick note: the spammers seem to be targeting the subforums that show up on the main forum page when not logged in, those being General Discussion, Discussions Générales, The Witcher 2, Baldur's Gate, , [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series#1422454274]Neverwinter Nights, and the Might and Magic series. I wouldn't count on this always being the case, but those areas seem to be the most at-risk at the moment.

Seems like an odd selection of threads... i know finding the exact name of a sub-thread is harder to figure out when you don't own the game, but not impossible to get to. Other than free games (Might&Magic might have one) i don't see why those would be the main targets. Witcher 2 & Fallout were free too, but the accounts are too new meaning the list is probably comprised of an account that actually has a few games and is used to scout rather than to actively spam in case the games are lost. Curious...
I glanced at a few sub-threads that were under 4 hours old with changes, nothing looked suspicious; But those could have already been cleaned out.
