The question already had seven perfectly good answers which solved the OP's question. Should we now let everybody who's ever written a vaguely-related blog post drag that question back to the top of the list just so they can drive some more traffic to their blog?
Hey, let's not bother giving any attention to new and unsolved questions. Let's just fill the first 50 pages of QA with old, solved questions where someone has recently written a new blog post on the same subject, re-hashing the same answers which have already been given.

Anyone who disagrees with Richard, prepare to be labeled. Liberal much?

Well, I'm sorry I didn't seek out your permission before reporting a spammer. Obviously, you are the only member qualified to judge what constitutes "spam".
Perhaps we should close this forum, and email all spam reports to you for vetting first?

When it was just abusive comments you were defending (so long as they weren't aimed at you), I could see the logic. But recently, you seem to be regularly objecting to spam reports, claiming that the spammers have some sort of right to post spam because "signatures".
It's getting to the point where I hesitate to report some site-driving spam, because I don't have the time to get involved in a multi-page argument with you over what constitutes "spam".

It is fine to have different oppinions, and (I have suffered it in my own flesh as well) sometimes Ryan's comments have brought debate and ended giving a 2nd chance. Although it can sometimes be annoying, it has resulted usefull as well.
Note: I am not defending him, I am just saying that CP is a nice place where everyone can express own opinions. We are all (or at least should be) mature enough to think for ourselves.
If not from moderated queue I always visit the links and check the situation if I can. Then I build my own opinion and report it or not. (In this case I agree with you)

Stop closing the accounts so quickly, before we can even see if the game hacks are any good.

Publishing a link to your business, code related or not, is allowed by CP, as far as I understand.

I see 2 messages that are meaningless but not SPAM. Are there others that have been closed that were SPAM?

This is the third one in the last couple of days, and if you look at their bios it is clear they are not developers.

After I posted the question, I did see the other links below and the 2 other accounts. Still, I don't see it as abuse or SPAM. If some goof off wants to post meaningless posts it is not against site policy. After all, the Lounge is full of what people are having for lunch or what they are doing for the weekend. In my book, those messages are just as meaningless yet very tolerated.

His bio just explains that he is a doctor, and that he just jumps into Ibuprofene selling...
That's definitively a spammer

I kindly suggest not to contact this one if you need analgesics
Or be prepared to feel the pain elsewhere...

Besides he is the third one in this report[^] if not spammer... they kinda smell like trolls (IMHO)
