I don't agree that it's spam...
Accounts that don't post anything else, no useful information, often patently incorrect info as to causes (deadlocks don't cause suspect databases) and links to database recovery tools even when they wouldn't be useful (eg root cause was deleted data file or incorrect permissions), many times on months or years old posts.
Can we call them "Posts with negative content value and an advertising link"?
