Guys post their reviews here, and then follow it up with a link. He did not. He posted links, and nothing else. And the first time he posted just a link, he was told to post an intro, and he didn't. He just came back a couple days later, and posted another link.
It has always been the practice to delete SPAM and ban spammers. I will not leave such posts in place, only to drive traffic and increase search engine rankings to those other sites. So to answer your question, we actually do delete threads around here, only when they're posted by spammers.
On a side note, what is the current CigarPass policy on links in member signatures? We seem to have a recent rash of noobie bloggers and merchants looking to gain traffic without adding much substance to the CP community.

I was thinking the same thing.

Ditto, was wondering the same thing.
I just reviewed all of the reported posts; I removed the spam link, and replaced it with "SPAM LINK REMOVED BY CP".
I have also banned the offending members.
Come to think of it, I used to do this in the past, however it became too tedious and I decided to just start deleting spammers. Let me be clear, spam is the only type of posts that I have ever deleted. We can certainly go back to the original method, assuming it doesn't get out of control.
If someone joins CP and they have a link to their blog, then they're a spammer and it's against policy. If it's someone who has been a respective member and they have a link in their profile, then that may be a different story.
...perfect answer in my book, Rod. Thanks for all the hard work...!!....:thumbs:I just reviewed all of the reported posts; I removed the spam link, and replaced it with "SPAM LINK REMOVED BY CP".
