You have an interesting point here, but this is far from clear cut. If you follow the original "source" link, it's an obvious spam site. And as greedy4chips points out, it doesn't appear to be the original source of the article. A moderator could just blow away the whole thread, but what if there was something useful in it beyond the obvious spam link? Also keep in mind that I'm just a volunteer so I can't spend hours researching whether an article is a bona fide original article, or just a ruse to get people to visit a spam site.
