So. You may wanna copy-paste this URL into a proxy, unless you want derp over here on FW soil. That said:

Now, a bit of backstory:

Yhuzan is nazi mod. Yhuzan is also stupid. Mly challenged Yhuzan several times, and seemingly defeated him. Mly showed mercy on Yhuzan and let him roam free in hopes he would learn better. Yhuzan didn't learn better and banned Mly, for no reason whatsoever, while Mly wasn't even making any posts and on a hiatus. Throw in other members talking over each other, trying to devolve the logical debate against Yhuzan's status into a pseudo-political flame war, and such, and you have the site for the past many months.

The skirmishes cooled down and I eventually left temporarily, having a few other things to do. Now I'm back. My weapons? A few, simple, but very strong against a weak-willed mod like Yhuzan.

Legendary ban-dodging ability, which I've already shown off numerous times on-site.
Logic, in the form of a single, rather short argument in a single post. It loops back on itself and sits firmly on its ground in such a fashion that it can be rendered invalid only if Yhuzan is competent and looking out for the best interests of the userbase at large, which he simply isn't. For the full post, see below.
Finally, a simple modded spambot, named Tara by me. She's very simple, but she doesn't need to be smart; she just re-posts the message over and over again so Yhuzan has to see it. Eventually, while trying to delete and censor, he will get enough of the argument for it to gnaw at his mind and ego, and he'll slowly realize the piece of shit not fit to rule over a toilet bowl, much less a forum, that he is.

It will hurt. Even failing that, he has to deal with the raw tedium of deleting hundreds or even thousands of copies of the post, being made constantly. I, meanwhile, just watch the damage to the intro forum. It doesn't even hurt anyone other than him, because there are no new users to introduce themselves, and the oldbies don't post there, so anyone claiming annoyance other than him is outright lying. The poor moron doesn't know how to program any bot to go toe to toe with it, nor does he have enough of a brain to learn. This is like putting a squishy human in the ring with a battle-bot and letting them get slaughtered slowly. It's downright sadistic, and I love torturing him so easily, with so little effort on my part. As I write this, there are ... *checks the posts* 132 copies of the same thread, all of which he has to delete. He knows in the back of his mind already, that he has to censor me because I'm right. Now, though, he's surrounded from all sides. He can do nothing. If he deletes every post, there's a new one within 30 seconds at most. If he bans the account, the bot just registers a new one, passing the CAPTCHA to me so it doesn't have to deal with something designed exactly to stop bots.

The post it's spamming, in full:

Well for starters the forum is phpbb 3.0.4 based so I think that a mod has a lot of options to wipe out spam.

You've programmed a spam bot. That's something I really would like to do myself as an anti spam option. Is yours based from your own computer or somewhere independent?

Posting less than every 30 seconds ... that's almost 3000 a day ... which will have more than a mere mod interested very quickly. Of course, I believe with phpbb3 even if your bot as 12000 posts pending, they can be deleted with just a few mouse clicks.

Does the mod use google much?

If Mly's description of him is true, probably not.

Hey Mly, mah homie, I'm sorry I called you a sicko and what not. Really. You're cool. Cool

Alright, the bot was utterly useless. It'd take a million billion trillion damned posts to tire him out, with the mod tools that are at his disposal. They just make it too easy in him. He's spoiled, like a little brat. Gonna have to be more clever than that. Luckily, I've reserved a few backup plans for a long, long time, just in case:
