I'm a mod on a much smaller site that deals with a hobby I've been involved with for years. So this is just what we encounter there.

Basically what happens is a dupe account is created with a user name.
Then at the right time that dupe account is used to spam the forums as much as possible before it's detected and banned.(this is why it's important to use the red triangle at the bottom left to report the post asap.)
Then the post are subsequently removed.

It's near impossible to detect the dupe accounts from new legit accounts of people simply looking for help here.
Spamming a website that is dedicated to helping people with addiction is simply evil.
