I'm sure we've had this discussion before. 
In this case, I'm looking at you, @fes-sitecore:
How To Change the font Style of ListBox Items?[^]
- Question from 2012;
- New solution posted yesterday at 16:44 by already-dead spammer - content: "answer here", linking to a shortened spam URL;
- Solution edited yesterday at 16:51 by F-ES Sitecore - content changed to: "
[removed spammer link]";
Unless there is some potentially useful non-spam content in the answer, there's no point editing it. Just report it.

Absolutely.
If you edit and remove the spam, then when the message gets dumped due to spam reports, it gets passed to the heuristic spam detector which uses the final content as "this contains spam" data - and you get more false positives and more missed spam as a result.
We're generally pretty quick: it doesn't last long before we squash it.

Me? I smell pink meat here - one article when you got the lappie for free is ... ok (jammy git) ... but three? Smelly.
Your thoughts?
Or do we need to disturb @Sean-Ewington for a decision?

Let alone the uselessness of this kind of article, it is clear that what motivated these submissions was an advertising process going on.
I reported them.

I would say, we should wait for Sean to decide about the user. But the articles... they are quite "old-fashioned", hardware revisions of 2012... not that relevant today.
On the other hand... the guy didn't log in so much after posting the articles and didn't come back since 2015.

I remember these and thought they were rather shallow if not puerile articles. Amazing what gets approved.

I think at some point (few years back) Chris posted that technical reviews are welcome which lead to several articles containing different reviews, first impressions, package details, etc.
As my opinion, we should wait for opinion from Sean.

If I remember correctly, we posted these as part of a series of reviews on the Ultrabook. There were a number of authors writing these reviews, including Chris. Curtis is OK.
Thanks,

I'm just guessing the answer would have linked to a shop...
His other post was a "great laptop!" comment on a six year old review article: Latest Messages[^]
