A Denial of Service attack (flood the server with requests) might look like that. What I would do instead though, is have the form pre-filled and scripted to submit the moment it’s live. That might be done with curl/Python/etc to skip the browser render too. If so, it might also inadvertently look like DOS if they forgot to put a delay between attempts.

Interesting. I did not know you can do that. Thanks a lot for this piece of information about scripting the form and submit before browser renders. I will look into that as well.
