- It was a very aggressive spammer. He spammed each page with a different user created especially for that purpose. It was easier for me to revert this by first assigning all these edits to a single user.
- As for why he would do this? Seems he's just unscrupulous and clueless. All external links are marked with "rel=nofollow", so search engines don't index them, and even if they would, lots of links from a single site aren't going to count more heavilly. And we don't have public access logs, so it's not going to count there either. He'll only make the spam defence more aggressive.
