It's normal for any spammers that want the support feather. I'm sure a moderator will notice it and ban him anyway. People like that don't get the award.
Notice how he stopped coincidentally around 100 posts, usually people will go one extra just in case or they will stop at exactly 100. Then they never come back, and lots of the get banned anyway, without an award.

Exactly what Infinity said. He is simply a spammer looking for an award and he will not get it.

Well if he's making HQ posts and really trying to contribute, it would not be normal. But I could see myself posting 100 times if I found a lot of interesting stuff to post on. I've seen his posts and I don't think he's spamming. Maybe he just really likes it here.

Yea Crytek, you as well shouldn't post as much, well it really doesn't matter about quantity but try to write a lot less one liners. As for that spammer, he will get his account closed and no award.

Only the people that repeatedly post low quality comments, at a fast rate get banned. People who post 5 word answers, but at a rate of maybe 2 posts per week, don't get banned, but they also don't get the award I would assume.
I think a description for the feather award, would be better suited as "Make 100 High Quality Posts on SF" not "Make 100 posts on SF"
This would not only stop the staff from having to ban a ton of members, but it would also raise the overall quality of the posts here, if people want the award. They will think less about spamming for it.
To get it, you have to read the award description, so why not add that in there? For a support forum, if you have good posts, that other newer visitors see when they register here. That is golden. First impressions are key, and that would give a good vibe for support around here.
To me, that would make it seem like "wow, these people are really willing to help each other out"
