It seems that you are a bit overstretching it. After all, words are no more than a rehashed combination of the alphabet. I guess you should evaluate the post content on the overall impression it produces (i.e. whether it contributes something new to discussion). Otherwise, you'll be seeing only that, namely, rehashed combinations of the alphabet symbols. While I don't like neither of these posts, but it's certainly not for the reasons which you base your conclusion on

In other words, when you go headhunting try not to lose your own head

Fair enough. In the end, we report posts and mods make their decisions.
In this particular case, marcoman22 has been perma-banned (may not be just because of the above posts though)
Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #323504

I'm not not a mod (and don't wanna be one unless I'm really well paid), but if I were I wouldn't perma ban for just this kind of posts. On the other hand, if I were a campaign manager I wouldn't want such posts (and posters) either. Since it seems to be pretty straightforward that such posts are made exclusively for the sake of payment (in the majority of cases), it should be enough to just exclude them from the sig campaign they are enrolled in or just disable their signatures if they persist in spamming

But what does autoban actually refer to here (or may refer)?
