Or might this be a prank from a disgruntled forum member?

Spammers often use automated bots to do this - our forum software is a popular choice - so they've probably just got automation that does some sort of auto scroll or tab and posts automatically to where ever it has landed. I checked the IPs of the spammer and they don't cross check to any member IPs (doesn't mean they didn't us a VPN). Either way, their accounts are banned.

Fortunately our forum software also has pretty good spam account protections, so we don't get too many of these!

Venus fly trap for the bots.
 
I updated the first post to make clear to everyone that the use of "Let's... go ..Brandon" or any derivative of this results in a warning. Google this if you are curious why, but suffice to say it is a partisan political attack.
 
Yep, another one that cannot even take the time, seconds, to research and pick a correct boat model. Reported!

The vast majority get caught during registration but some slip through.
