The initial responses by moderators were fine and correct. They met the complaint with skepticism.
The fact that the guys email was blah.dropbox@blah.com meant it was a possibility that another site had been compromised and the email matched a keyword filter which allowed it to be easily guessed.
Its like passwords. MyPASSW0rDdropbox. If this is leaked it is fairly likely someone may try.. MyPASSW0rDfacebook.
They failed a bit further on. One obviously misread the thread and made a comment which isn't really acceptable.
Generally though it is the typical user forum thread. User repeatedly hammers the moderator with the same question. The user cannot elaborate. The moderator can only speculate due to lack of information. User doesn't find moderator answer acceptable, provides no further information and asks the same question.. both sides get annoyed.
It seems like the spam is to do with the data that Dropbox previously lost. An answer which a moderator actually provided.
