Seems to be some "Anonymous bumping" happening in this sub-forum.

Seems to be some "Anonymous bumping" happening in this sub-forum.

Have cleaned up a bunch of spam posts from various bots in that forum. I think the users may already have been removed as I can't find them in the memberlist? (Which has several bugs of its own to complicate that - there's another that I've disapproved a couple of posts from but also can't find)

There seems to be a (separate?) issue with threads being "bumped by Anonymous" where the last post in the thread is a legit post from a real user, but the content is years old despite the post having a current date. It looks like the previous last post has been wrongly updated with a new date, but the sidebar is failing to link the username to their profile because there's some kind of "anon" user (presumably a missing ID) that it's treating as the author.
Example threads here: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

In each case the last post is genuine but NOT recent and has been messed with by this "bump" function, which I'm not familiar with - I don't see any control to do it, and the idea doesn't make sense as a separate thing anyway since you bump a thread by replying to it.
