User joined and posted 10 almost-relevant non-sequiters to totally unrelated threads within a few minutes.
It's like spam only they forgot to add the links. Is someone trying to build up a valid-looking post history?
Individually, the posts are harmless noise. Looking at the set however, it looks like it's failing the Turing test.

See http://drupal.org/node/43511#comment-2433690 - it's copy-pasta from someone else's post earlier in the thread.

Not sure what they are achieving, but certainly bot-like.

It is not spam, but I agree that they seems bot-like comments; the user just read some comments, and write a similar one.
I especially like the one saying Committed in 6.x-2.x-dev.

I don't know what we exactly do in these cases, but I would rather warn the user. Adding so much comments in few time is suspicious, to me.

IMO if a user simply copy-pastes another comment without adding anything to it, it's spam.

I see nothing good coming from this user.

Not all the comments fall in the category copied, and pasted; they seem more silly comments that don't add anything to the topic. It seems the user thinks that there is a prize for who makes more comments in less time.

I found a user that wrote a comment like It's so professional.I don't kown what you are talking about. I come here just want to practise my English.I come here by chance.It's so funny.!!; I unpublished the comments, and sent a warning to the user.

I agree with silverwing that nothing good is coming from this user. Maybe she thinks this site is a kindergarden; for sure, she didn't understand its real purpose.

I have sent an email to the user.

Hello melissa_foot. I am writing you to reports you that writing a comment to duplicate another existing comment, or commenting without any real purpose is not something appreciated on Drupal.org.
If you keep adding such comments, your account will be blocked.

Best regards.

I have also unpublished her comments, or deleted the ones that were duplicates of comments reported in the same place.
I am not sure the unpublished comments are not duplicates too.

I am marking this report as fixed. If the user starts to add similar comments, feel free to report this report.
I think that in such case, as the user has been warned, the user account should be blocked.
