Read how Wikipedia describes newsgroup and forum spam:
"Old Usenet convention defines spamming as excessive multiple posting, that is, the repeated posting of a message (or substantially similar messages)."
Googling:

should have been pointed out more often by moderators.
It is my personal opinion.
One, very important sticky SEO post (This is a forum for eBusiness professionals):
LIST: High Ranking Directories and Indices
Look at Ken's rep rank for posting 5721 posts. And that happended after he left.
Why not introduce the
LobbyRank
sooner than later?
If a lot of people disagree with you, you can end up having a negative rank for posting more than 5000 posts.
Since Ken left, I think it should at least be fair to set his RepRank at green zero as a minimum. In my view he deserves at least a RepRank of 4.
- What do new members / surfers think when they open that important SEO thread started by Ken?
- What do you think potential customers of him think if they see the thread?
In my own forum rules I write:
3. Free posting under responsibility. Do not get personal. Stick to the subject. Personal attacks will be deleted without argument, and you may be banned from the forum. Note, professional disagreement is not a personal attack and a professional discussion may feel hard to somebody. But be polite, even if the discussion is hard, and you are a winner in our view. Humor is good, but bad humor (again our judgment) on behalf of other members may be regarded as a personal attack. Especially if a lot of members go against another member, even if that member started, be careful with your words. Try to understand cultural differences. People from some countries may tolerate and stand more than other members. Especially, for that reason, we look for moderators outside the Christian Western world that understand these cultures better than us.
My bolding above.
Ken was a moderator. So WPW moderators be careful
