The problem here is:
When I was preparing this post, somebody removed many of the spam posts. I failed to complete tracking using the pages where the first found spammer was posting. When I followed other spammed pages, I found some extra spammers. This is the reason I do not delete the spam post, but replace it content.
I understand that having a direct access to the database, it's possible to track removed spam posts and find more spammers, and ultimately delete both posts and account, but deletion of posts blocks the attempts to chain the search.
What can be done about it?
Thank you,

I'm sorry SA, but some of the posts you mentioned may very well have been removed by myself. I did mention the culprits in my post below though. I do agree that we need a better procedure to deal with this. If you care to share your ideas you'll find me an attentive listener!
Thanks for participating,

I exchanged some ideas with Chris about using Bayesian filters and related stuff, keep thinking about this problem.

For now, I do the following:
I replace the spam content with
"[Spam content removed, the offender's account disabled — SA]"
or
"[Spam content removed, the offender's account to be disabled — SA]"
And I don't remove the post if the account is not yet disabled. I report spamming posts and offender's accounts, cumulatively, chaining be a link to account, then to offender's posts, then to the pages of spam where I could find other offenders, recursively.
It's important to remove accounts as soon as possible; the post could be removed later. I remember well that the bombers and fighter are best removed at the airport; it's much harder to do after they take off…
I also would like them to be edited as I've shown before, because after deletion they still could be read — why? I would really love complete removal from Web pages and database.
Thank you,

From the one and only post he has, I don't see the spam, or abuse.
Or why he got downvoted - it seemed a reasonable, polite reply to a question.
Am I missing something?
