Thank you for the observations; however, there is more to this than met your eye.

In my view, Ms. Sophie's posts are far less objectionable than those of some regular denizens.

The "standards" are Sex Info 101 Board standards for content and purpose. The site is primarily self policing, although, there are Moderators who oversee the day to day operations. We rely upon members of the community to alert us to problem users and offensive or inappropriate posts. We do not always see these first. The biggest problems are unauthorized advertising and particularly SPAM.
While this person's posts were not offensive, they did not contribute any meaningful information. When a person posts a dozen or more replies in the span of twenty four hours, an alert goes out to check for SPAM ads. Her many posts today, and before were simply a vehicle for making sure as many people as possible saw her unauthorized link to a third-party site. Because of the high number of worthless posts, because of the link to a questionable site over which we have no control, because of the possibility of contracting a virus or worse, because people who click on the site are subject to additional SPAM, all ads must be approved, first; those not approved and not relevant to the information in a particular reply are deleted.
As Brandye noted at the time of writing, the person in question had replied to well over a dozen threads! in rapid succession. Even a person proficient in speed reading would find it difficult to read each thread and formulate a response in her time line between responses. This did not happen.
The meaningless drivel of these types of replies disrupt the content, form, and fluidity of thought and information, in each thread in which they appear. Whether together or individually, all this places a blight on the site's public image, not to mention wasting valuable resources.
