No, he's trying to get moderators to click on that link to exploit a security hole in the board software. See this Google search.

In general, it is a good idea to keep board software up-to-date. In particular, 1.1.13 is an important security fix. For example, this one:

Code: Select all

SMF 1.1.13                                                      8 February 2011
