How did this newbie get around the posting restriction?

I actually find it strange seeing such thing that look like posting with a bot. It will be difficult to convince me that that is not a bot posting and even at that, base on the rank, posting several posts in a day and all posts spaced within 2 to 3 minutes, actually seem weird. The activities is less than 15 so I wonder how the waiting time was broken and allow such number of posts within a short interval.
Quote
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);

I don't want to believe there is a bug in the forum software. But the truth is that the account will not last long in the forum if such posting style becomes a habit.

Looks like they're pushing a product dealing with cannabis and posting in all the local boards. As long as it's properly translated I believe it is allowed. I wouldn't get too worried about it at this point unless he continues to make a thousand posts in the next day.

Maybe someone whitelisted him. I checked: I didn't do it.

As long as it's properly translated I believe it is allowed.
I don't think he hired that many people to do a translation, which means he's (most likely) breaking this rule:
27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.

Spam is not allowed.

I have checked the profile of the user and it seems the account was created to spam the forum. Personally I think it is huge a problem.

In my estimation, most users know best and generally ignore this type of spam. Most of it are reported to moderators who delete or lock such thread but  that is the best they can do .

I noticed another spam on this forum this week. Different users who just registered on the forum, their post talking about 1 confirmation and double spending. Another is something on how they beat Stake.

It is becoming too much though. My best guess is that it may be one person who created multiple accounts to do this or maybe it is a group of people.

It is a big problem.

He is spamming everywhere. Even in other people's threads.

I've reported it as soon as I've seen it on the Spanish section like a couple of hours ago for breaking that rule and spamming all over the boards. He's going to get his posts deleted and probably banned. Just wait and see.

This user should be nuked immediately. Looking at post history[1], this user already create 67 posts since 2024-07-07 05:23:38 UTC[1] which is about 15 post/hour. He also create thread on technical board which contain false or unhelpful information, while being unnecessary long[2].

You're probably right of course, only 20 translated topics lmao. I was just stating that it's legal if done properly.
