[wp-forums] Egregious spammer in the forums

[andrew nevins]

I'm afraid I'm to blame here. I blocked the original account & the second
subsequent account that was created. Those accounts contained the majority
of posts. It looks like there was a genuine user behind this to begin with
and now that angry user is trying to get back at the system. Or me.
