Yes I see that too. Weird. Clicking on the author of that post (gelbukh) displays "Account locked" for me. Could it be related to that?

Weirder, when I did it a while later I got:

Multiple nodes named "gelbukh" were drunk:
Aug 31, 2025 at 15:38 UTC gelbukh (user) by gelbukh
Apr 29, 2024 at 16:03 UTC gelbukh (locked_user) by gelbukh

The user had already posted three times (a root question and two comments in its thread) before making the change to his home node which triggered the anti-spam mechanism. Rather than investigate or ask for intervention, he immediately created a new account with the same name. This is what led to the "multiple nodes drunk" situation. I have (1) renamed the old, locked account out of the way, and (2) transferred ownership of its three nodes to the new account (gelbukh).
