user254: If I see spam posted as an answer, I should flag it for moderator attention/deletion.
Should I also edit it, to hide the spammy text?

user254: There are SE people who run a network 'bot which looks for spam.
They advise me that it's enough to flag it, and that it isn't necessary to also edit it.

Is it OK to edit obvious spam to break links?
Should spam posts be edited?
