How about any previous moderators that were "dismissed" because of there behaviour towards members?.

Don't know that there have been any. I have not seen examples of such behavior.

Why think there's a conspiracy theory? This thread is open to the world. If I was orchestrating a spam attack on a forum, I would take notice of what the forum was trying to do to fight it.

Hello spammers reading this, by the way!

Anyway, it would be great if mechanism that block tagging thread by new users is not working, or really some old-timer tagged thread. IMO, definitely worth checking.

If someone coud look into the SQL, it would be possible to see who tagged those spam topics. Texrat, do you have sql access to TMO? Also why were there no other counter measures besides Texrat and other mods one-sided manual battle against our "friend"? Why are there still no spam-mods, shorter intervals between reporting, closing or restricting the Games section, restricting topic-rating so the creator of the thread could not rate it or installing a spam-filter?

It is not the audience.
It is the possibility.
They may find some machines for botnets.
They may find your credit card number.

I would not click on the links of the spam.
You never know what is behind those spam links and what gets on your machine if you do click the spam.

Edit: I found quite some interesting stuff here:
"Emergence refers to the unique human ability to aggregate information from seemingly meaningless pieces, and to perceive a whole that is meaningful."

[ http://www.newscientist.com/article/...ts-at-bay.html ]

but I am not sure if there is practical software for this to use in boards.
