they're bots that edit in phishing links later on. (and also attract other bots to the thread later, too)
So what your saying if I understand it correctly is they try and get people to respond the the thread
Perhaps the people responding might even say something positive
Then they come back and EDIT their post and/or add more posts with Links attached (to click on)
Then after that all unfolds..........................a new viewer reads the thread and sees all the responses and thinks its a Legit post and clicks the Link out of curiosity
and of those who do this 1% get snatched???
seems like a long game to me but if you say so?
In which case best to LOCK this thread so they do not catch anyone :/

The account has already been banned so no risk of that but yes that's the gist of it. Cast a wide net and see what gets caught in it.
