But there's a risk in quoting or repeating the content of spam.
When I delete spam I do so using a query that says, "find all other posts by this user", and after that one that says "find all other posts like this" and finally one that says "ban the users after the posts have been deleted". It's that middle query that can cause problems, if someone has quoted the spam then there is a real risk that I will be nuking that person when I nuke the spammer.
I realise.
