I have noticed a few spams in the Lounge and on some of the other forums, where a person registered apparently just to post spam.
Their spam threads were locked, but the people weren't banned. There is nothing to prevent them from spamming again using that user name.
If you lock a spam thread from a person who obviously registered just to post spam, then that username needs to be banned, too. (In my opinion)

But also note, once the spammer's threads are locked, they don't return. I have never seen a repeat spammer here.

I ban them when i find them, but I honestly can't check every thread in every forum. If you see a spammer, report the post and one of us will ban the bastard.
