Yes, but it could also be an alt account, to begin discussion about a topic that's supposedly interesting, to help fulfilling the post quota.
I don't think that is the case here BlackHatCoiner, HumanityWhole has around 11 threads on the first page of the politics and society board, and all of the threads have no replies from other members, but just one or so.
Do we know if there's moderation in P&S?
There is no moderator particularly dedicated to P&S.
Does P&S even have an active moderator right now?
No dedicated moderator, theoretically global moderators, and patrollers (well and, admins) are the only ones that'll see reports there. The latter obviously only posts made by newbies that have been reported, which doesn't happen often.
Maybe the P&S section needs a dedicated moderator, otherwise there will be no end to spam and zero value posts and threads in that section, Suchmoon complained about a similar posting habit of another member in
this thread, but i don't think anything has been done till this time. If member's make legitimate complaints like this and nothing happens, then that is only an encouragement for more spammers and surely they will increase. HumanityWhole is only here to advertise his off-forum site and not to discuss bitcoin or anything, if not how they can you explain a member with thread after thread and with no engagement in them, yet he opens more and ends them all with a link to his site.
