No, we remove the product names/info as that's what the spammer scum are here to peddle. I have the joy of subscribing to far too many potentially attractive (to spammers) threads as they're so dumb they continually try to peddle their crap here (the link i provided above is a perfect example of this).
When i open my email of a morning and see many conversion type email replies listed, i know there's a workshy spammer fiend been at work as i don't usually participate in such threads other than to fend off the fiends and their twoddle.
The product names/info in question are only removed when spammed, genuine posters who discuss those products are not stopped from doing so. Many, many spam threads are hidden from view on a daily basis, we only leave valid threads in view, and just remove the spam info. A favourite tactic of spammers is to create professional-looking guides, full of nice pictures and info, but it doesn't take an eagle eye to distinguish those from a genuine tutorial as the so-called guides are full of links to the spammed software.
There are also things called spam bots which i can only assume are automated spam mechanisms, i don't know nor care how they work, i just make sure that their spam is not allowed to breed on our forums.
