They probably could, and maybe should. But...it's not really abusive.
Perhaps a quiet word with him instead of kicking would be more appropriate?

Then, another thing to keep in mind is to edit your original message and delete the report if you change your mind after some answers.

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?

Just edit your post and delete the links to the member profile / message / article.

And maybe add a "Mind changed, nothing to see here" type off line Smile | :)

Answering with a link to a commercial website he is involved in.

You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

That has nothing to do with spamming.

The problem is, if the question is "old" ... I can't remember how many years old the question was, and someone posts an answer with a link to a site that they are involved with, and that site involves some sort of financial remuneration, ... why post a response? Is it not a case of searching for an opportunity to promote a particular site, regardless of the age of a question? Spam.
Where do we draw the line?
If that answer had been posted to a recent, unanswered question, then it's a perfectly valid response (although a disclaimer really ought to be included)... but reviving old posts to essentially advertise your own company is just spam (or abuse, or choose a word)

I agree with you.
But, something one can't see on the Question: The question came back to the top of the list because of some tests done by Matthew Dennis. Therefore the member did not search explicitly for it.
Anyway not a big thing.

Yes, it has everything to do with spamming, or site-driving if you prefer.
Answering a five years old question, posting a link to a commercial site you (the poster) are directly involved in, is definitely spamming.

You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

Again, I disagree: the question came back because the reported account posted an answer to it.
