My guess is that it was just really bad timing (or, well, good timing from the spammer's perspective). It was posted on a what is a Saturday evening or nighttime for people in the Americas and Europe, which comprise the largest segments of our most active users and the mod team, so there were far fewer people online (and that was in turn compounded by the fact that it's Memorial Day weekend in the United States). It happens. Like you said, this was a bit of an outlier, so I'm not concerned going forward. As always, thank you and the other folks who raised flags.
