This guy is apparently posting by skipping the form as the form would force
him to choose a topic.
He is getting 3 or 4 of these through a day.
examples

I have reported to molem literally hundreds of louis vuitton posts and yet
they still get through - very frustrating.
And the pure Asian or Cerilic posts
http://gallery.menalto.com/node/107798
or just plain garbage
http://gallery.menalto.com/node/107801

I don't think forcing him into a topic is the answer.
