That's definitely true.

But I am not asking the moderators to quickly promote a user just because he posted some innocent looking "noise-posts". In fact, such "noise-posts" should rather be treated as "spam" or intent-to-spam. We need not insult our moderators' intelligence, I think they are smart enough to pick up such "indications" from the posts. And these posters should be banned, or better, to have the account removed.

But I still have my views that I doubt anyone who posted such thing which includes words like "raid", "knoppix", "gentoo" and so on will subsequently turn into a spam. In the unfortunate event if if it turned out to be the case later, no matter how long you "quarantine" the account it will be the same.
