You can spoof IP addresses. Which is why I think you're all crazy for believing SL is really in Italy especially since he basically admitted he's Mason.

It's a form of spambot. IIRC this species eventually adds a sig with spamlinks.
Except the text in the post is almost word for word Fuzzy/Lauren's OP in the Quiz callout thread in TRN. The spambot would've had to register, pick a post to copy (coincidentally in the members-only part of the forum), change a few words, and re-post it in a random-ass stickied thread. Doesn't seem typical.
Isn't typical but has happened before. I think it's an abaondoned experiment in making spambots more human-like. The designer probably quit paying attention years ago, and the virus continues to spread a wanly hopeful cheer in random forums. In this case, a thread search with keywords like shoes, purse, buy, store etc would have shown this as the most recently active thread in which hawking designer knockoffs for low-low prices would appear topical.

There have been 2-3 other bots that registered and picked another recent post to copy and repost in a completely unrelated thread. In one case, the bot hit a rat ring proposal thread.

I should just go back to my finely honed surgical process of approving new accounts. I don't think anyone else looks at them often, and the two accounts I approved but would have squashed back in my hobnailed boots days both turned out to be spambots.

I've never seen one that changed just a few words and punctuation. Weird.

Thanks for looking at the new account registrations, raven.

When I was modding at OL a lot of the spambots were like this, including the more human like usernames (actual name, no string of numbers following). I don't recall if they changed a few words in the post or not.

But I have no idea if the libertard dude is mason or for reals.
If a sock, it is art. If for real, then sad.

That link dont really say much, and the links ya follow there dont really say much either, but I think Mason done a few things. One was harassin folks via PM in a bad way. One was specifically harassin Miss halii, all over TR and via PM, I think, yall. But in the end, he done told Missus ravenscape that he aint had no intention of stoppin sendin rude PMs or stoppin harassin folks, and he said he aint never gonna abide by TR's rules. So, permaban.

So then, this is the scenario…
The little faggot is a big talker, but only behind closed PM doors.

The pussyboi also could have made his member discussion threads public.
But he didn’t… because he’s a pussy.
Mason, the libertarianpussy.
