Spam has always tended to come in waves. Most of the spam today is from the same user, who made multiple posts within seconds of each other. It's already been removed from the forum, and I assume that user banned. It's fairly easy (although tedious) to keep the forum clean, and it generally is, but there's no way of retrieving spam once it's been forwarded to the mailing list.
