There's a post on FP about it now. MartynMage commented that they've turned off the spam filters and are trying a new thing. Because people's posts were getting filtered incorrectly, or something, I don't remember exactly
SpareMyReality
I'll have to look for that post...

It's Russian bots. They let them come back and now they're taking over.

Gross...

The imgur staff felt that perhaps blocking those posts wholesale was too harsh. So. They have turned that faucet back on. To monitor the situation or something.
