Default Spam following posts???

Anybody notice how often a valid posts is followed by a SPAM from nikejordanum within a couple of minutes? Doesn't happen all the time, but the forums will go hours with no new spam then a few folks post and the spam follows. This morning there were valid posts at 10:29 and 10:37 followed by spam at 10:31 and 10:39. I suspect this guy's account(come on Ric are you telling me a moderator can't alter posting privledges for a user?) is set for email notification and he's got a routine posting spam everytime his email box is notified.

Maybe just random coincidence, but it doesn't look like it.

I wish there were a way we could make this back fire on the spammers, but without the administrator(s) what can be done except find a new home for this crew?

more fresh spam. Makes it hard to keep the real threads alive doesn't it? I keep hoping the owner will get out of hospital or wherever he's been sequestered!

Every forum is getting hammered. I think the spam has just evolved from a once-a-day crapout to a more regular stream.
