I'm in the process of reporting a slew of them directly to GitHub right now.
Joel will need to come through and delete all the spam posts. GitHub doesn't do that.

For those reading this, Ghost isn't a person.
Ghost is the account that all deleted and banned accounts redirect to.

If you see a post by "Ghost", that person has already been banned and the post is just waiting for deletion by Joel (or another repo admins).

I feel so damn sorry for Joel with the amount of posts Joel's gonna have to delete.

They're realllllly trying to hack this poor dude. I have a massive growing suspicion this is a corporate-sponsored attack. (like you know, state-sponsored attacks, YouTube is powerful enough to enact such operations)
