Please refrain from creating promotional material or posting spam on MediaWiki.org. Further violations may incur a block.--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 08:29, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

If he's actually posting spam it would be worth blocking. Spammers won't suddenly become contributors just because they're told that spam isn't welcome. I used to tell spammers that their actions were not allowed under the delusional belief that they might decide to buy an ad for whatever they were spamming for, but it's not worth it. Their behavior won't change. If it was ambiguous, that's one thing. That said, someone looking to promote a personal website about wikis or sth like that would probably know enough to not act like a spammer. It could be worth making the block and leaving directions what to do in the event of a false positive. ఠ_ఠ Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein des Sturmkrieg Sector (Talk) (Contr) 00:43, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
