There appears to be a lot of spam popping up on the General Music forum - is someone addressing it?

I am! Though I really should get to the root of the problem, them getting registered in the first place. But in order to do that properly I need to update our software, and prior to do that I need to update other things
But I'm on it!

Was there another bot/spam attack on this forum by someone labeled xfifa earlier today?

I think I have removed them all, or are there any more left?

There were four left and there are even three new ones. All of them by xfifa.
The four remaining ones are in Greetings everyone!, Hello friends!! , The New Zealander and in The accommodation to beforehand with the case. All from 28 November, 2016.
The new ones are in Will Van De Crommert - Fi … Game Composer–Greetings!, But Sitoto and in It's a dream e true. All of them on 6 January, 2017.
Please tell me if I am wrong and these are not spam! I've got a very high skill level in spotting unusual things that don't seem to fit but also a horrific low skill level in determining if entries like that are indeed spam. If I am wrong I sincerely beg forgiveness from everyone I bothered with pointing these entries out.

They're all spam. I think I've deleted them. Anything left? After I do my update I will be able to delete user accounts and all their forum posts in one go. Now I need to manually find and delete every entry, it's quite annoying

One. The second to last entry in New member introductions » Hello friends!!.

I assume it's Here-we-go-again time. Unless the four latest entries about some universities under the header Forum/General Music have any meaning concerning music.

You're right, Werwolf. They are all associated with the email account, "agsdfaffa01@hotmail.com", which shows up as a lvl 1 member - ?
THE VOICES ARE BACK........................excellent
That's the one.
While we're at it, is the post under the header Forum » New member introductions » Wise Disk Cleaner portable spam as well? Although it seems like there's useful information hidden in there somewhere, it sure reads like advertising.

It's word-soup spam, seasoned with a generous pinch of jargon babble.

More spam (I don't like that kind of spam) to report! All threads in General Music by some imposter named "elvafeng":
"better production rate playing in minimal games"
"replacing Henrik Lunqvi...ndqvist is a future Hall"
"way and then the other way and then back"
"Let's hand the microphone over to Stompin"

Found another in General Music:
"Yahoo Mail USA Phone Number" by Anonymous
It's so poorly disguised that it doesn't even include a phone number.
