It is almost always a link to the same website (lifeh...) preceded by a section of text from a previous poster in the thread. The spammer always makes 6 posts.
Riiiiight, I've noticed this exact same spammer who never gives up and keeps coming back. This spammer/mob doesn't always make it to the 6th post though. When I spot it, I'll always RBP it so MODs can get to it before the post count reaches more than 5.

If so, we wouldn't be seeing the same spammer over and over again, would we?

I thought it would have been quite easy for the tech department to just flag any post with this particular jpg link and stop this spammer from the get-go. Apparently not.
