Often one of the user names will have "Bam" in it, that they are flooding the forum is the "war".

As [MENTION=18508]East[/MENTION] explains below, if you see it happening, just click the little yellow triangle at the bottom left of the post, the one with the "!" in it. That removes the thread from public view (placing it in a moderation cue). You will see a "warning" that you followed an invalid link. Disregard the warning. You then have to wait 60 seconds to do the same thing to another thread. East thinks that when this is repeated enough times against a specific user name, it freezes the user account so they can't post any more. ... If ANDY reads this, maybe he can let us now for sure.

As soon as Andy sees it in his folder he will ban them...
