It's a mistake to draw a general question based on this specific incident. The spam in question has been posted to Codidact dozens of times, often in AI-generated texts. There is no reason to assume there was any good faith behind the answer. We know the "answer" part of the post, the one you've chosen to let remain on the site for now, only exists in order to spam. You should nuke the account and delete the answer. There is no proper credit for the non-spam of the answer. For all we know, it's either AI-generated or ripped off from somewhere else, without attribution. We do not host that sort of content. Never, ever, edit spam out of posts unless it was a genuine mistake by an author with otherwise good intentions. Always delete the post in full. Do not reward spammers by letting their content stay on the site, thus creating a false sense of legitimacy around the account posting it. Aside, the spam is still present in the post history.
