"  If external links are so bad, why even allow any links?  Why not just remove them all?  

No, we should NOT be linking to every Chinese astrology site from Wikipedia.  We all knows the SPAM policies.  Isn't this what all SPAM police and all user responsibility to weed thourgh the links?

Use a little common sense when using the linkfarms suggestion.  When there > 10 new spam entries per day and the links are hugh, linkfarm suggestion may make sense.  When there are only a few links (<10) and there are no frequent new spam insertion in the page, then consider just remove that particular spam that appear instead of removing all the links that have been around for > year.  You made a mistake, admit it, then recover your mistake.  Do not cover your back with ""commonly supported"" excuse!

Also, instead of wasting my time proving all the links to the article's talk page, why don't you spend sometime instead proving to all of us that this site has such a HIGH SPAM activity that it warrant you using the linkfarms method?

 Question about why you deleted my link 
I posted a link to www.justiceforkevin.org, a non-profit site with valuable information about a man who was wrongfully convicted of rape. You deleted my edit, saying I was a spammer. I respectfully disagree  this website would have saved Kevin's life if he had had the information it contains, and the makers of the site are dedicated to preventing this tragedy from happening to anyone else. It should be available for Wikipedia readers interested in these lagal issues. So how do I go about putting it back up  and maybe getting you to come down off of your high horse? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.138.56.209  .
(see Special:Contributions/68.101.131.133). First off, don't add the same link to over 15 pages in 22 minutes. That looks really bad. Second, Wikipedia is not a collection of external links; while he may have been subject to Megan's law, there are many such people, and a link to every 'save so-and-so' page would dwarf the article. Finally, stay civil; insulting people is likely to make them more hostile to you.  (talk to me) 
OK, that's all well and good, but it's still within the Wikipedia rules. What does it matter how fast they were added, or that if EVERYONE did it, what would happen. I never insulted anyone, but you sure seem to have taken this all to your head, with deciding who should be included in these articles and who shouldn't. And if you are sensitive about people being rude to you, why delete their contributions? Are you doing it out of your hostile anger, or is it an actual appreciation for the rules? Seems like the former based on your response. Again, this link is a perfectly acceptable addition to the sites it was posted on  both because of subject matter and pursuant to Wikipedia rules. I am going to repost them, and if they get deleted again because of your opinion, then I'll report it to Wikipedia myself.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by  (talk • contribs).
'Get off your high horse' seems like an insult to me. And I'm not sensitive at all; I've been called far worse things without batting an eye. I just don't like it is all, and people have easily been blocked for doing similar things before. Besides, I'm being anything but hostile right now. I'm trying to work this out with you. And if you repost, I will block you again. If you want to complain about me, you can do it at the administrator's noticeboard, or request a 3rd opinion, or go to the mediation cabal, or bring it up on the talk page for the Wikipedia counterspam effort; this is probably the closest thing to 'reporting it to Wikipedia'. And the external link guidelines say that links whose subject is not directly related. There are many people who other people believe were wrongfully convicted of rape; why is this man (and not John Doe) special?  (talk to me) 

Oooh, so THAT's what it's about ... I have to prove to you that something is ""special"" and get you to approve it first? This is a public website, and you're being way too controlling with this. The external link I added conformed to the subject matter and to every Wikipedia rule, but you seem to not get that. I'm within Wikipedia
