 I am clearly still insuffciently devious to be a politician. I would never have thought of that. I'm not even going to ask how they might do that appart from the obvious large ammount of manual work, as I'm sure you wouldn't want 100,000 copy cats. At least its not a bug

I have seen those too, but this one was different. The member had around 52000 Organiser points and it looked like he got 13000 of them in one day at the end of December 2012. There were a couple other jumps. It just looked strange.

I don't know if you saw the QA area on Saturday, but it was quite a mess. At one point, all of the first page was littered with spam and about 5 had spilled over to the second page. ThePhantomUpvoter (should really rename to ThePhantomSpamFighter) was hard at work deleting the spam content from the posts.
I know Chris has asked us not to do that, but on a day like yesterday where it took some time for a 3rd member to red-flag the posts, I agree with the approach.
Anyway, ThePhantom removed the spam content and I just posted this message with the list of spam profiles.

Yep, I did saw around 10 spam questions on the page. When I opened them to give a pat from my side, they were already deleted.
Post our delete power being stripped, probably editing is required now.

Well, maybe we just file this under the "early days after the policy change" and hope a few more members will be on their toes when the next spam wave hits.

I don't think it was an Admin. The new 3 strikes, you're out policy seems to work well. I went through the QA area a couple of hours ago and gave 6-7 posts the final blow.

I just kicked the articles with the 5th report before reading this. But the accounts need one more report.

Not spam (it doesn't advertise) - but it is abuse.
