It's the spam! http://forums.uesp.net/memberlist.php?m ... le&u=75033 *points finger at it and waits for CRT monitors to crash into it*

It was foretold that a hero would defeat this foul spambot. http://forums.uesp.net/memberlist.php?m ... le&u=75052 It is said that he is the only one they feared. That after the fall of Floppykiins and the abuse of a certain word in the signatures, that he would vanquish the foul spamdroid. In their language he is El Puncho of blood. He punched out all of their blood, the UESP Moderator. Yeah, that's a crap joke but tis a spamroid.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything; they can sometimes make real-looking posts by being really generic, copying some of a post someone else made, or I even saw one on another site that just took random words from a thread and tried making coherent sentences; it was pretty funny.
Judging by the profile though - no ES games or other information apart from a spammy-looking link (which their username seems to come from) - I do think it's a spambot, and had come here to report it myself.

This one made a generic post saying "Thanks for your post" on Avron's Silly Survey thread, and since there's no regular ES information and such on their profile we can assume it's a spambot.

Beat me to it Alarra, I was just about to report it after seeing a couple of "Thank you for your post" posts.

They haven't made any posts yet, but it's got the typical blank profile and their IP is listed on several anti-spam blacklists.

Doesn't look like a spambot, and the link checks out. We'll keep an eye on that one!

This one seems kinda fishy. Just a lot of spam-ish posts and smilies that don't seem to go together. Might be a spambot, but I'm not sure.
