user spamming just to get 5 posts to make attachments - metulburr - Dec-31-2018
this user
https://python-forum.io/User-franswa1
has made gibberish posts in attempts to try to get 5 posts to be able to use attachments. I also think the attachment is going to be a screenshot if a traceback error. But that is for another day.
Im not sure whether to warn him or just manually allow him to use attachments. Either way i deleted all his gibberish posts

I did end up warning him too. I figured i would post here to let you guys know in case he spams peoples threads again.

He may be planning something worse.
I'd purge him, but not my call.

Oh, that's what they were doing. I was confused and not sure if I should have done something about that.

Usually because they screenshot their error and do not understand how to use BBcode. However he is the first person i have seen to spam threads with crap just to get a higher post count to post attachments.

Point taken, and valid (except he could have used a bit more couth).
