I hate assholes that do this. Why? I mean really why?

Some men just want to watch the world burn. Namely assholes.

Children. They’re children. Let’s not call these childish little bastards “men”!

Apologies, it can also be women. I'm just constrained by the quote.

The only DDoS that I can half-way tolerate is ones that go against corporations/governments that do evil shit. And even then, those attacks had better not effect people's health and welfare needs. Yes, assholes abound.

Part of the issues in the past have been caused by one singular user who, during the first couple of weeks of growth, registered absurd amounts of communities to try and become an immediate power moderator. He was banned, got really angry, and have been creating spam accounts, tried to use the CSS attack during the emoji issue, and you know what, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one trying to DDoS the site.
