From the GD thread on this it sounds like a new poster spammed LBN then got PPR'd pinboy3niner Sep 2014 #2
Possible newbie or actually someone deliberatly spamming? sakabatou Sep 2014 #3
Both. It had to be a new account to be subject to auto-removal of posts upon being PPR'd. pinboy3niner Sep 2014 #4

I don't know exactly what happened. I don't think the same person did all of them!

Perhaps some of those were by new posters who didn't know how LBN is supposed to work.

According to Rug's reply and link in GD the offender had 30 posts when PPR'd. AND, as MIRT noted, it clearly was deliberate spamming to flood the forum with posts flouting LBN rules after being advised to adhere to the SOP.

He was very new, seemed to be doing okay, but then he started spamming LBN with articles that didn't belong there and when he wouldn't stop, he was nuked. A good example of hosts and MIRT working together.
