Actually, I was only #4. I just think a lot of people had plenty of morning coffee.

Agreed. First time could be a "mistake" or not sure if it's ok. But after being told not to...:BootToFaceSmiley:

Leave the spam alone, call attention to it. Sure. But don't erase it.

Very well. Is the point of that so that others can see it for themselves and treat it as such instead of just taking my word for it?

Everybody can still have a look at the previous version, so it's OK to remove the SPAM content IMHO.

Thank you sir. I couldn't see why we would want to keep the advertising up for free ya know?

Partly, but there is another reason.
From time to time, Chris tries out automated antispam systems - and if you edit the message and remove the spam content itself, then the system has nothing spammish to learn from. This causes the systems to either be ineffective, or to learn entirely the wrong things!
I used to edit the message, but Chris did ask us all very politely not to for this very reason.
Spam reports (or a staff member / Protector) will remove it soon enough!

What are you talking about? Spam should be removed, but it's more important to cancel spammer's account.

Spam should be removed, yes - but it is important hour it is removed.

Agree. That's why I was concerned about reporting the spam posts: it may leave no time for reporting on the spammer account instead. Spam content should not be replaced. I used to edit it a while ago, until I realized that it's counter-productive. In this very thread, I only discussed spam reporting and fighting spam as such.
As to the antispam systems, please see my short article: A Plan for Spam[^].
What do you think?
