TWDB Codes

Someone has kindly been posting approx 1000 fake codes a day into TWDB. I suspect that they are a regular player who is trying to make people switch from TWDB to other site like ICM.
My question if you are reading this is;-
Why are you doing it and what will you gain from posting fake codes.
I wish that the mods would publish the name of who is doing it and ask Nick to ban them altogether for trying to spoil the game.
Interestingly I also suspect that they probably breaking the law in trying to fill it up with fake codes, could be considered a denial of service attack.

Because being a dick on a website isn't against the law. Also code sites aren't directly affiliated with the game client, so it's TOS wouldn't apply. Also a denial of service attack is something totally different than this situation.

But speaking of denial of service attacks.... Low orbital ion cannon.... Use it, and you are considered a "hacker" and part of the imfamous "anonymous" group by the mainstream media.

I disagree, filling the site up with fake codes could make it useless for purpose and therefore deny its true service from the real users, so could be considered a DOS. DOS can take many forms and this could just be one.
The bit about banning was to show that the TW community does not want a member who believes that spoiling something used by TW players is not acceptable. Must be something in the conditions somewhere that could be used.
