I'll use this thread to appeal for help to bust this guy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1153977

He's part of the Stake.com army of spammers. I got him a week long ban about 10 days ago for flooding various boards with one line spam. Now he's back with Google Translated spamming. He posts frequently in the Spanish local section, so I can only assume the source material he is stealing is in Spanish. It's fairly obvious by the speed at which he is making new posts, the poor English and grammar, and the usually telltale mistranslations, such as when he translated book titles:

However, try as I might, I can't find a source to report him. Perhaps a native Spanish speaker may be able to help? Or a mod could just ban him anyway for nonsense spamming?

That user violated several forum rules:

-snip-
27. Using automatic translation tools to post translated content on local boards is not allowed.

33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.[e]

33 [e]. This includes copying part or all of the posts or threads of other users and copying content from external sources (eg other websites) and forwarding it as your own.

The rule is clear enough.
And IMO that's enough for the mod to ban that guy.
