I suppose we could all PM John and ask.
I would vote for DrPhil, but that's kinda like letting the wolf guard the henhouse.

I just sent NP a Facebook message (it showed she was on): GC is under siege from SpamBots! Send help soon! 
Hopefully it's SuperMod to the rescue!

Actually, if we thought she would actually do it, it wouldn't be a bad choice - not like she's gonna get offended and go on a banning spree like many other posters we know.

We have four supermods, which is plenty. The degree to which they wish to participate in GC has nothing to do with anything.
Meanwhile, please, please, PLEASE stop the mindless bumping. Like Jen said, at least if you see "penis enlargement xoeijoiuf" you KNOW it's spam and can skip over it. When you see a real topic at the top, you think it might have....real new responses. It's wasting everyone's time to do this. There were something like 3 pages worth of "bump" posts yesterday, which was probably worse than the actual spam situation it was intended to remedy. STOP. CEASE. DESIST. NOW.

Actually, one of our Super-mods is no longer participating in Greekchat and has not been for some time now. The degree to which the remaining Supermods do or do not participate in Greekchat does have an impact on the spam.

I heartily agree with the bolded. What good is a Supermod if they're not watching the board and/or readily available by email?

I would have found it acceptable to have ONE thread in each forum titled something like "bump the spam" which people could have posted in repeatedly if no one was making new posts or a new spam thread appeared and they wanted to keep it away from the top. Unfortunately if there were any posts that may have interested me, or a lot of other people yesterday, we're likely not going to see them.
This isn't the first, or the last time, there has been a spam attack.
