On page two of this thread, there is a spam post.

Please remove both the original post and the quoted post.

Every article that links back to the original spammer's site improves the value of the site in the eyes of the search engines. Don't enable the spammer to feature more prominently in search results by allowing any trace of the post to remain.

I would also recommend ensuring that the profile of the perpetrator be checked for additional links and those removed as well.

Do you think they spam randomly or is it the word "championship" that attracted it? (for those who haven't seen it: it was an ad for steroids).
