Question: Is it a tide that we want to stop?

I for one am guilty of said offences on a number of occasions. It is a good way of getting cheap 'Press Releases'

My views are dump the drive bys pick up on some of the more subtle attempts and remove URLs and give warnings, but if they are good then just give them credit for their work and let it go.

No matter how hard you try some of it is going to get past the filters. The real key is whether the spamming hurts the business or whether spam removal hurts the business in terms of effort expended.
