Deletion of Spam?

I deleted a thread that was getting a fair amount of attention as spam, please move it back if necessary. But our members are posting to "help" these people when it's a duplicate ISP # and most obviously spam if you do a little research.

Seems to be a pattern, someone asks "Where can I get a dog present" (or similar) and then someone "else" (probably all the same person) posts back "I always shop at www.pawww.com (or whatever it is) they give FREE SHIPPING AND WRAPPING and 15% off through the 10th!" or whatever.

All these "members" have 1 or 2 posts only and all their posts are either the set-up "Where can I get the..." or the spammer "I shop at..."

That's the reason for deletion, I didn't think editing fixed the problem since the OP was the spammer.

Tell me if I'm wrong.
