The first one has residual spam comments, so he is easy to smack.
The other two have nothing listed at all, so it's a lot harder to say "these are spammers".
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

I have found it interesting that for at least the last week, every day, this[^] user has been on the top 5 Q&A posters with between 450 and 500 rep points. The odd thing is that he only answers between 5 and 10 answers a day and is averaging some 80 points per question, yet he isn't showing any of the sock puppet voting patterns I have seen in the past. He is also not having old answers voted up at any rate that should account for the kind of rep he is producing. Anyone have any ideas as to how he is doing this?

Might be he is profiting from this bug[^].

BTW, you can leave it like that and soon I will be #1.
Update: I guess this happens when we get error like "We tried 3 times...". Even though the error message is displayed, answer/comment actually gets posted.

Good call. That may be it. I had forgotten about that issue. Cheers and thanks for that information.

In that case, he is going to squawk pretty loudly when we get the next point recalculation...

Yes. its because of a Bug with Rep calculation. even it happens to me, when I try to edit my own answer i get 10 rep points   serious bug!!! so answer + 2 edit = 30 points

I was going to say that there are not enough answers or edits (of own answers) in the past 24 hours to get that many points, but I just noticed he deleted 1 answer that had been downvoted (I remembered that one because SAK yelled at him and an identical answer from another member).
[EDIT]Removed theory to avoid possible abuse[/EDIT]
As I am writing this, I wonder if I should post my theory at all. I might start a new trend.

Really interesting. member has answered only 9 question, only one accepted answer and none is heavily upvoted. Added 14 comments. Still, he is on top 5 list with 530 points in 24 hours.
Though as Marcus said, he is not spamming but really intriguing.
Thanks,
Milind

They are back and now they're attacking the article submission thread.
