Seeing a lot of spam by the "crtkecnkl659" account replying to lots of posts. Looks like he's never made a real post though.
Odd URL versions of commercial sites is all that's posted, not sure if they are malware but that would be my guess.
Just wanted to raise awareness as perhaps the account needs to be disabled

I don't suppose that PB accounts lock out if you get the password wrong lots of times, I guess that would create a lot of admin overhead unlocking them.
Since I'm getting more spam emails I was thinking of trying to lock the account out.... annoying

Its a pure spam account helped by the fact the this forum does not need mod approval for the first x posts... would stop a lot of these accounts.
Re: crtkecnkl659 account hijacked by malware?
The user has already been blocked by me. He is no longer able to post new posts. However, as a mod, I don't have the option of deleting his postings in one go (Fred wanted to take care of this, but it doesn't work). And I don't feel like manually deleting the 118 postings either. That has to be done by an admin.
