I agree, spammer. Here are some observations:

  • Both QA answers and message forum answers followed the same pattern.
  • Only one answer added anything beyond the existing answers.
  • When answers are added that add nothing, they're just noise, and that reduces the value of the answers overall.
  • The answers had only links. If that site ever disappears, the answers then become useless. They also make it harder for people to scan answers.
  • Hilariously, the spammer posted an answer to a question that already had an answer from a previous spammer account by the same person. Laugh | :laugh:
