If at first time I was just wondering how that was even possible, considering this user's reputation, seeing that it happened twice already raises more question marks. Is btcltcdigger accepting payments for initiating such topics? Is he creating these topics being aware of their "evolution"? I don't know if he uses any notification bot, but I see that he never replied here, after the earlier posts. Maybe he will do it now. However, I, on my side, intend to check all his topics... I am curious to see if I will find other similar ones. I am not sure yet if the user needs any tagging for performing these activities but, however, having (at least) 2 topics created by him for the sole purpose of spam is, certainly, not good.
I don't know. It probably warrants taking a look into it further. Although, bumping bots are quite common, I do believe even Howey coin has been subject to these types of bumping bots, I'm not entirely sure why that is, and why they've done that, but I do believe I've seen it.

It definitely isn't good, but I like to operate on a innocent until proven guilty, and while it doesn't look great correlation doesn't equal causation. If anyone wants to take a further look into it, and can find any other supporting information, it might save a lot of spam in the future.
