Thanks for deleting that crap.

Something odd that I noticed when I looked at that poster's history is that he had been a member since 2005 or so with only about 40 posts, and no posts for about 10 years.
Not only was his username suggestive but one of his old posts mentioned someone complaining about his avatar pic being offensive.
His first post after like 12 years was in that now-deleted "Webcams with Hot Chicks" thread which was obviously a joke

I assume his account was hacked, but i really wonder if some combination of that thread title and his username lured a bot over here.
