Some of you (thank you!) have been reporting a particular spammer. This one is more clever than average. The comments you have reported have had no spam links! But the comments have been nonsensical, off-topic, in broken English.
I think the trick here is that the spammer makes a number of seemingly benign posts so as to slip past the moderators; and then at some time in the future, they add a spam link to their signature line. Since the signature is applied to all posts including old posts, the link gets retroactively added to those posts.
Clever! But not as clever as you folks. The posts are deleted and the spammer is banned.
Thank you! Now... WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE!
Clever spammer!

Thank you, Martin!
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it. ~ H.G. Wells
