It is difficult to nuke them, since a full thread is hanging around.

Actually the only full spam is the first message of the thread, the other two are more like defending the reasons why he posted but contain no links (if I am not blind)

How did you open the messages? When I try, the links just go to the first page of the Lounge. Confused | :confused:

That means that the spam message was probably nuked with a big hammer

This guy asked this question in Q&A, and posted the same question under < former link of the post >

I replied to his comment under the article asking him to remove the double post, anyway I reort also here to let the board know.

EDIT: links removed

I have deleted both (yours and his) messages on the article and left the QA Item alive.

You might edit your post and delete the links. In my opinion it is not an abuse, just a lazy user

You have already warned him. If you see he starts crossing posts another time, then we can take other options, at the moment I would give him a second chance

Edited. I know it isn't spam but it was something in need of moderation - kind of a borderline situation. Is there a better place where to post this kind of situations?

EDIT: darn typos, always waiting in the corners.

I didn't say you took the wrong option. I just said that is a new user that seems lazy. For 1st offense a warning (what you already did) is OK. Reposting has been dealt with.

If you see he ignores the warning and continues doing the same, then is something to be considered as abuse and you can rise it another time here
