What should we do in these cases? Should we mark the posts as unpublished?
I agree the posts they are harmless (and they don't contain any links, so they should not be considered spam); it still seem that the user has not understood what he should post on Drupal.
I actually have the feeling I have already read a similar post where the poster asked why you would work online.
I agree, it seems somebody is checking if the post will be deleted.
I still think I have already seen posts like those, posted in the exact order; I cannot find them as they have been deleted. In that case, it is probably a user who has been already blocked.

silverwing commentedI'd wait for a trend to emerge. And links. Spam links.
If he posts a couple more posts like that, an email would probably be enough to stop it.

avpadernoShould be enough to say that the posts he is making don't suit Drupal?

scoutbaker commentedI know that no one asked, but since I saw this issue, and I'm fairly regular at reporting spammers...
I agree with silverwing. I saw these when they first showed up, but took a wait-and-see attitude.

WorldFallz commentedYep... i usually take these nonense posts as someone dipping a toe in the water before flooding in spam. Let give it a bit.
