I came across some old "trader" spam. The account is gone, but several messages are still there in spite of a huge number of votes (of course some of those could just be downvotes).
As of this writing, 6 of the messages are still there.

I actually brought this one up last year. I went through and red-flagged all the answers that were just a one-liner with a link to his site.

I often risk my life spamming -- by posting "thanks" or other stupid responses. I like my account ("Member since Monday, April 4, 2005 (8 years, 2 months)" + some articles associated with it). Could somebody give me a good reason why posting a "thank you" or "it worked" is against netiqette? It is quite informative (gives other users information that an answer is a solution -- besides "answered" status) and polite for a person who provided the answer (personally I appreciate when someone writes it). I do my best when writing, I check words in a dictionary etc. but at the same time I do write a "thank you". 
Greetings - Jacek

A very quick look (just the first page) doesn't show any "thanks" or "it worked" messages - are you referring to a specific question / answer? If so, could you point us in the right direction?

I was referring to a netiquette, which I have read recently, but now I cannot find it. So, maybe I was wrong and it is not considered as spam? That would be good.

I'd call it politeness. It tells someone that they helped, and you are grateful.
If it was against netiquette (and I've not seen that anywhere), then I'd ignore it. It's not like SHOUTING at people you want to help you, or telling them they are elephanting sunshines!
Carry on, I say!

Against netiqette? It's not against netiqette:
Good netiquette involves:
1. Thanking, acknowledging, and supporting people: People can’t see you nod, smile or frown as you read their messages. If they get no acknowledgement, they may feel ignored and be discouraged from contributing further. Why not send a short reply to keep the conversation going? This can make a big difference in a small group setting like a tutor-group forum. (But bear in mind that in a large, busy forum too many messages like this could be a nuisance.)

Take a look to the 3rd sentence of my signature (I have not changed it since... I can't remember)
So no, being polite doesn't go against any rule, actually just the opposite, there are not so many people that thanks the help has been given.
But...
Just one advice. If you have to thank people helping you in the Q/A Section... then better don't post a solution to say "Thanks" or "It worked", that could be reported by users as "not a solution".
If you just use the widget "Have a comment or question?" below each post, then noone will tell you anything against it. On the other hand, the person who helped you will receive a notification of your thankfull feedback, and probably will be glad to help you in future questions.

It is not against netiquette at all. There is a policy at one particular site that "thank yous" are discouraged because they feel that a number of "thanks" or "it works" simply clutters the site with "noise". But that is just a site policy and nothing against netiquette at all.

This gentleman is calling CHill60 and myself out (for reporting his previous answers as spam), but I still think he is a spammer. Not to mention he resurrects old questions to spread his message.
I am not going to link directly to his profile, but if you agree with me, you know what to do.
