If someone falls for something as basic as this they shouldn't be using SR. Whoever is making the account can't be getting a very big return from spamming a darknet forum, but it only takes 1 idiot to make it worthwhile.

EDIT: Just to add something constructive - I don't see a reason why a user with less than 50 posts should need to have the ability to create multiple (identical) threads so quickly. There are fairly simple barriers that can be put in place to prevent this.

It's a bot. And yes it happens on the main forums as well.
