As someone who have managed signature campaigns, I noticed someone using a weird way to post repetitive stuff and go unnoticed.

Modus operandi:
1. Copy the contents of a previous post (made in the a previous signature period) made by him, and edit it to something irrelevant.
2. Make a new post with the same old content.

Example: (reported) (archived)

#3 and so on.. from here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/geopolisch-106419 (This guy is probably still hard at work  Shocked)

Notes:
A manager or a bot looking at the posts for the current period will find it hard to find this abuse. In threads with more than a few pages, it becomes significantly harder to spot.
