We will need @Sean-Ewington for this one. The spam link is still in the search list, but I can't reach the message to nuke it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
