Chairman's Award: Chairman's Award - Issue reason: Your outstanding contributions to this community have not gone unnoticed. IN my view you are a worthy recipient of the (rarely used) Chairman's Award. 
Default Bots, again…

It looks like a bot is polling common passwords or possibly a keygen (AI enhanced?) against user accounts.

Is it likely there could be a need for across-the-board resetting/locking of user passwords, or at least for those of users who don’t respond to an admin message? I’m concerned this current outbreak might snowball.
