This particular case was not a case of automated spamming, anyway. I was actually online while the poster made both of his/her spam posts, and judging from the pretty good amount of time that passed in between the two spam postings, it seemed manual to me.

By the way, I did notify immediately! If you’re gonna advertise shoes around here, they darn well better be built like a tank and have some steel/safety toes on ’em… this is the Survival Forum after all!
