If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Hi,

This user User[^] is back in top expert in 24 hours. Thugh user has answered only two questions in 24 hours and neither of them is accepted or upvoted. Nor the user has any old questions that are getting accepte/upvoted to bring and keep him in top list.

Marcus also initiated thread Old Thread[^] when the user made it to top for 4-5 days continuously.

As said in that thread, it is not spam but could be some bug in pointing system which being exploited. Worth checking.
[UPDATE]: There is a bug, Just now I got three times point for answering one question. Added a bug in Site Bug/Suggestion.

Thanks,
Milind

The account is no longer active. He made it into the monthly 4th place and I was getting excited about seeing him rise to the top with very minimum work (compared to the other Top 5 members) Hmmm | :|

I am not sure why yet.
He was getting high points because of some bug, then why the account got deactivated !?

Thanks,

Perhaps it was not just the bug you mentioned. I think you and others have said you were sometimes getting 10-30 extra points per answer. There was one day he posted 2 answers and got 450-500 point with none of them being Accepted and no noticeable up-votes on any of his answers.

Yes, that means there is some more serious bug which the member was exploting which may need to be addressed.

Are you sure? I don't see any spam in the answer or messages. Just some odd spelling.

I came across a new member that has posted a few answers in QA, but two of them are copied from existing, very weak answers and the third is barely a comment.

We have one of those spammers that posts a spammy question, but also copies existing answers on other completely unrelated and real questions.
