@YvetteColomb yes, but it's not promoting any sort of product or service
And if someone wanted you to send help to an email that they're not affiliated with..... then I'd be worried
 
Yeah, I have some users on IPS who protect all sorts of stuff with only one bad answer.
 
And it's gmail, 'followlikesocial' is too general to track down any particular service even if you wanted to
 
erm it's a business
I don't want to post any links in here - just google it
yeh the site is using wp
 
But it's still not an advertisement - they're not saying 'you should check out <bla>' or 'good blog post I like it do you like mine? <link>', they're asking for help (yes, in the wrong way, but that's NAA, not spam)

I'd view it as correctable. The problem is the signature (on all their posts), which could easily be edited out. In the past, I'd just leave a comment informing the user that it might be considered spam. Most people who are trying to actually contribute to the site will correct the issue.

@DavidPostill I suggested an edit on Japanese SE for removing profanity, but OP rejected it.
 
@DavidPostill I'm not surprised that they did. Without something explicitly informing them of the policies, they would only view your edit as vandalism. I see that you've added a comment (20+ hours after the edit and an hour after the edit was reverted).
