He'll eventually spam some shit, he's just trying to get a lot of posts on a lot forums for a bit of credibility.

Scary, when we thought Trident or Neckbeard were the biggest losers on the internet, we have found another one.
 
I've had my account and posts on the Parrot SK4000 subforum on Parrot.com deleted because I reported spammers that copied my posts and replies in an attempt to seem legitimate in other threads and I dared to report them. It was getting WAY out of hand so I reported hundreds of posts and they though som spammer must be report spamming. No, their support forum was simply unusable because their admins weren't doing their jobs and they made it that much worse by removing all of my unique solutions and advice! The spam bots are still on there with some partial quotes and plagiarized posts of mine. If there are bots that work like this accross forums and sites, your posts are more likely to get picked up and copied considering how many places you post them. They'd rather copy someone legit when padding their posts with seemingly legit threads to throw suspicion off the commercial spam ones.

"Hello! I found the solution on this website! [link]"

In short: You were asking for it.

They even stole your name, stole your posts and got you banned on other forums like Penny Arcade!

THE FIENDS!!! You better get in contact with the proper authorities. Perhaps some inimitable agent like Dick Barton could help crack this enigma of a case.

OH MY GOD!!! HE'S EVEN PLAGIARIZED THE VERY POST OF THIS THREAD!!!

This guy plagiarized a topic I made and posted it on another message board, claiming it was his own. Of course, I am the original author of it, but he stole my topic! I did some research, and this same guy did the same thing to several other people, stealing various different topics from them. See for yourself: http://www.gedarnet.com/vb/t49554.html#post74975
