You’re just seeing it for the first time. They’ll be deleted soon.

it’s just spam, thankfully ends up in test forum, not the main forums.

We got it within a reasonable timeframe. Keep the reports coming and we’ll do the rest.

These fairly obnoxious spambot outbursts have been going on for a few weeks now. If you're only spotting one now, it's testament to how prompt we're nuking them. The most common theme is targetting Africans via magic fraud, or the middle east for various abortion drugs. Every now and then it goes for the more generic counterfeit cash/docs and pills.

First time I've noticed them and they were deleted shorty after in fairness to the Mods.

The important thing is, there are absolutely no human sacrifices.
