Keeping a spam question that has well received answers
If a user creates a question as a place to later edit in spam links, but in the meantime the question receives 1 or more well received answers, what can we do to avoid losing those answers? Should the question be preserved (with the spam edit reverted) rather than being deleted and losing the answers?
Would this be a case where it makes sense to delete the user but keep the question?
I'm raising this as a cross-community discussion since a recent example involved a user posting to more than 1 community:
- The question Should the presence of AI-generated writing be considered a problem in writing? has 2 well received answers on Writing. This has already had a spam link edited in, and has been flagged.
- The question How should I structure a growing Python project? has 2 well received answers on Software Development. This has not yet had a spam link edited in, although the username is the same product as the spam link on Writing.
