Does Korean have (almost) no difference between the words "I/me", and "him/he"?
Illeism

One private warning is on your inbox. No censoring facility and more maniac laughter.

Illeism /ˈɪli.ɪzəm/ (from Latin ille meaning "he") is the act of referring to oneself in the third person instead of first person.
It gets even weirder when they use the second person.

Who mde him a mod?

There's this new thing you might have heard of called "lies".

Neither myself, nor pjh, nor dhromed, nor Ammoq, made him a mod. So he is not a mod.

I went to edit his post, and he replied to himself.

I see one of the mods got tired of him and booted him, though. Oh well. NOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW.

Seems like a lot of work to get ignored.

Probably just bad ai and they'd edit the posts later.

I'll miss you, Tae Wong, you nonsensical Korean maybe spambot.
Now if you excuse me, I'm off to buy a ten-year old copy of Microsoft Office.

Or it was trying to spam in one of the deactivated/broken CS features, like the "bio" thingy in userprofile that is disabled due to spammers...?

I wonder if a bot has ever successfully spammed using a password field...

Not if it's just a script running unattended. Point it as a list of known (pre-registered) forums, let it harvest some posts and build content that looks topical, leave it then check back after some elapsed time to gauge which forums look like candidates for hawking tha warez.
More sophisticated bots have methods of circumventing antispam features: establishing a post count on some forums allows them to gain a reputation so that their spam bypasses initial blocks.
Bot AI is a sliding scale between dryly robotic and unpredictable empathic. Many spam defences are triggered by known (recognisable) bot behaviour down the early end of the scale, so any efforts to move the behaviour further up the scale can fool those defenses and increase spread. It's a race between opposing parties trying to get an edge over each other.

Excel 2003 clears the undo stack on save.
