New user
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=78281 is an obvious spammer.
They made 10 posts within a matter of minutes, each one copied-and-pasted verbatim from other members' replies in those threads.
They also made an 11th post which is obviously spam for online casino games. That 11th post actually came first, but the subsequent flood of copied-and-pasted posts may have been so they could edit their first spam post to add a link to it.

There are a bunch of spam links in
this thread which have never been addressed. Actually, it looks like the whole thread might just be a bunch of spammers (with the obvious exception of Legoless, of course).

This one needs a gibberish -> English translator...
This one's fairly obvious given the username and the inappropriate link on the profile page.

Most of them have links in as well... :/

It's not just the Skyrim forum; they're everywhere. Looks like a bunch of alt accounts for a couple of different spammers, since the links are all the same. Bet if you checked they're all posting from the same IP address. And I'll bet the posts are all copy-pasted from somewhere else as well.
Group 1:

Group 2:

Group 3: Weird IP address [&@%!] going on

*Sigh* I feel like I'm standing in a once-great bastion of knowledge and cameraderie, unable to do anything but watch as it slowly crumbles into ruin and the rot and decay sets in...

This post isn't exactly spam on its own, but it
feels spammy.
It reminds me of those fake web pages you get when you Google any Windows error message; the fake pages always have "fixed" or "[SOLVED]" in the title, and may even have
part of the right answer, but when you read the whole page, they want you to download SuperDriverUpdater_TotallyNotAVirus dot exe and run it to fix the problem.
Thanks!

Sorry, been busy irl
Edit: Everything should be cleared up now. And most likely these were all related since they had alot of interlocking IPs. If your wondering why some of their posts were edited rather than deleted, thats why, so that its easier to catch em if they try making a new account

A completely embarrassing attempt at SEO spamming (SEO link in not-so-small print at the bottom) from a spammer/bot that does not care about Elder Scrolls:
