Lots of spam from user Chenlin
==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

Cindyaz looks like spam but a sample shows sort of thread related posts but on very old threads.
Looks like all Cindyaz posts are being edited - maybe to add the link?

All edits are pointing to same URL, still programming related.

| I've locked cindyaz for now. I'll try to clear the link from all the posts later today (I'm in training). Feel free to edit them manually. |

He's gone back and re-edited old messages to add a Spam Signature. I also found a message originated by the O/P and locked the account. I did think his messages were odd, and out of place ... shouldn't therefore be surprised that this was the intent all along.
Dunno if MODs have appetite to clean up the posts ??
When's the new software coming Graz?  I'm still willing to help with that project |

| I've cleaned up the paultech replies. I don't think it's him, I think it's a script kiddie using his account, same as cindyaz. |

Cheers Rob. Still think his "content" was naive, at best, and more likely "construed"
Spamming was from 16:47:18 to 17:08:06 for at least 40 message edits - 30 seconds a message, could have been manual I suppose, BOT probably would have been faster?
Dunno if you can see his IP address and browser's UserAgent from original messages and edited-message's sessions? |

I checked the IP addresses, there was some commonality but not enough to be sure. I also cleaned up Cindyaz's spam.
I'm positive it's a bot, why hijack an account in the first place? There's probably a back door in the Snitz code.
I'm sorely tempted to help write a new forum software, but wouldn't want to maintain it afterward.  |
