Suspicious users
Reading the various questions and answers in the forum I realized that these users: Howe Craig, Smath Henry, brucce tran always reply by copying other answers, and I also noticed that they registered on the forum just a second before replying (reply that I don't understand).
Maybe there are others, they can be recognized by the avatar which is made up of name and surname.
....or I'm too suspicious.

We get the usual attention from spammers. As a simple defence new users' posts are paused for moderation until they have made a certain number of genuine posts and rogues are deleted. Spammers have realised this and some attempt to bypass the moderation and reach the unmoderated stage by copy and paste posts hoping they look genuine; moderators don't always spot this first time.
Report them when you see them.
Cheerio.
RE: Suspicious users
A while back I reported a post which was basically a cut-paste (not a quote) of a post that I had made.
I don't remember the user.
RE: Suspicious users
we need to keep an eye on some users. it's possible that they are 'grooming' past moderation to Spam later...
taking into account different languages and the fact that some users post in languages, other than their native language, we have to make allowances.
Translations can go awry. If I reply in a non native language, I try and post my english language version, and the translated version, in the reply, so that the recipient, can try a different translation service, if my translation makes little sense.
to the best of my knowledge Brucce, for example, has not yet posted Spam links. nor bad mouthed anyone... or other misdemeanours. but, if you know different, please report posts for the attention of moderators.
thanks for your support and concern
