If we want to keep a spam URL out of search indexes, this post could be edited. Unsure if the user is legit or manipulated.

Wait... I don't see anything spammy about that post. What's wrong with it?

User has been PM'd. I'm confused about that post because it has enough going on in it to sound human generated but that random link in the middle is obviously spam. Either way, they will be banned shortly if they don't respond.

Not sure if they're spamming or not. The age is 69 so I'm gonna assume they are.

Hmm... No clue. I use a lot of forums, but I have 0 idea as to whether or not any of them were phpBB. Why?

EDIT: I believe I used to run a phpBB forum back in the day...
