A bit about the spammer from a programmer

HEY YOU! YEAH YOU! ARE YOU TIRED OF BORING OLD JOURNAL HEADERS? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER! WITH GALE'S NEW CRAZY ALL CAPS HEADER, YOU'LL NEVER BE BORED BY JOURNAL HEADERS AGAIN!

HEADS UP:
in my pseudo code, FA fucked up all my whitespace DX
This looks like it was well planned out. The spam was caused by an automated task, and here's the steps followed by the program used to do it:
create randomly named account
post new submission
upload xxxx.jpg
fill in title and comments box with garbage, and check "general submission"
submit submission
disable account
loop back to beginning
My personal guess as to how this was accomplished would be through the use of Python for the sake that it'd be easier to program, and I personally don't see anyone going through the trouble of debugging C/C++ code just to spam FAs front page for however briefly. This could be relatively easily accomplished with Python through its extensive included module library, including ones for the http and socket protocols.
The basic structure of the function would look something like this:
### python styled pseudo code ###
class profile:
def __init__(name, password): #this tidbit is complete BS and wouldn't work without actual written
site = http..open("furaffinity.net") #code... I haven't written anything to interact with websites yet,
this.name = name #so idk exactly how this'd work XD
this.password = password
site.newAccount(name, password)
def upload(submission):
site.submit(submission, title, comments, rating)
def disable():
site.disableAccount(this.name, this.password)
def garbage():
loopLength = randint()
i = 0
output = ""
while i < loopLength:
output.append(randchar())
return output
def spam(submission):
tempAccount = account(garbage(), garbage())
tempAccount.upload(submission, garbage(), garbage(), general)
tempAccount.disable
def main():
while True:
spam(xxxx.jpg)
main()
### end python styled pseudo code ###
Motivation for having gone through this task? Either the person wanted a programming challenge and couldn't think of anything useful and decided to do something annoying instead, or the person is simply a random derphead on the internet like a lot of the other annoying derpheads on the internet.

Having seen so many memes posted already, I dare say this was an attempt at getting attention *shrugs*
