That's a serious question. The spambots post them to get people to click on the links so even if the thread is locked and sinks they still achieve their goal. Wouldn't it be better to delete the thread and institute a one stike and you're permabanned policy so that 1) no one clicks the link they've posted and 2) the bastards at least have to spend a bit more time registering AEs? Just my $0.02.

I delete a ton of them... Some mods don't have the power to delete threads... so they stay closed until somebody else comes along later to clean them up
Keep on Civin'

I often leave them there as evidence of the slaughter. I just delete the links
