Even though I took care of this poster a while back, I forgot to break the links so that no one can accidentally click through.
It's done now. The links will take you nowhere.
I have sort of a different approach; when I delete a spammer, I delete all topics and posts as well unless there is a thread of some value (usually humorous).
In one case, I deleted the account only (leaving posts) which resulted in his signature links being deleted but I had to manually delete the links within his post.
I don't think it matters that we deal with these caustic slimes differently but it might be nice to tighten down our access again. Who would be the one to do that?
