We have been aware for some time that certain members were generating multiple topics and posts on-the-fly by using bots. We were prepared to allow this to some extent, however these certain members just didn't want to 'play the game' fairly and were using up our bandwidth! It was getting to the point where hundreds of posts were being created almost continuously, so we had no choice but to delete these accounts and with it, tens of thousands of posts!
This will happen again if it is required!
