A quick heads-up, as I've just had to take action on my other place concerning a mass "guest" log-in from China which I think may have been a prelude to a spam attack. The IP address range involved was 180.76.5.*, and at the peak we had about 60 different log-ins from various addresses on there.
Easily stopped by a wildcarded temporary IP address ban, but wanted to let you katana guys know in case it's a wider thing that might get replicated here.

Hi Thargoid, thanks for the heads up - IP address is duly noted - not banned yet - but at the first sign of a mass attack...
* * * * * (all from the same clutch of IPs – now banned – and from a batch of very spammy email extensions – also now banned)
We have a host of rotten swine's,
