Spam following posts???

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

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.
