Incredibly Fast Chatbox Spam
On the forum I host, a user who is for the most part well behaved began spamming images and text within seconds constantly. Only after banning them did it stop. I unbanned them a few minutes later and asked them for an explanation and they claimed they didn't know why or how it happened. A few moments later the spam began again. Here's what it basically looked like each time it started again.
As you can tell by the bold selection, it appears a mistake was made, doubting that this was out of control. Now I don't really believe the story of "I can't control it". Are their programs that someone can use on the chatbox to do things like this?

Re: Incredibly Fast Chatbox Spam
Hello Ferroza,
It is most likely that the person had copied the text from somewhere and repeated pasted and flooded the ChatBox with it. I am not familiar with any programs that do this; however the effects (very fast flooding) can be achieved manually by repeatedly pressing Ctrl + V and hitting Enter.
The member is claiming that they didn't know how it happened... now that sounds very weird. All I can say is that it may be a virus or it may simply be the member lying. However, I think it's most likely that the member is lying.
Regards,
Base

Hello,
In case your chatbox is being spammed, you may use the /clear function to remove all the typed words on it and ban that member on the chatbox via admin panel on the chatbox tab.
