Spammers like this often use more than one e-mail (or none at all) in their attacks, so no. I cannot say more without leaking details into the processes used to keep the site secure, and I will not do that.

Just for future reference, if it's a spammer, it's easier to just link to the account than all the separate topics. Got him too. Was just making a coffee. I now have coffee.

The user spamming has already been reported in the adspam megathread, but a bit of clean-up is needed here if it gets missed: viewtopic.php?p=38401074#p38401074

Is an IP ban possible?It is really annoying when you are trying to find interesting topics and some advert comes up

We have a dedicated thread for reporting abots. Please use that instead moving forward.

Thanks!
