I'd bet it's all one person with multiple accounts and IPs... Do they, by chance, all originate in the same general area?

No, they are all over the place...

That sucks ... And here I was all set to tell you to block the state of California :D ... It seemed likely, since it all started more or less at the same time, that it was all being done by one person.

But sometimes, I can't do this right away when I get a stupid "service not available" message from the moderator console once in a while...

I too always ban the IPs used to post.
I have checked with Christian about the 503 message and it seems to be fixed now.

Well, I can only confirm that this is not fixed, I still keep getting randomly those 503 errors when trying to zap/ban a spammer.... :-\

Does this help any... http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/503error.htm

I have had good results with moderating newly registered users.
Sure it will increase the workload for moderators, but we can catch spam early, before it will show up in the forum.
