Never seen ref spam not get deleted, do you have an example of this?

User Indamuck created a tutorial for trading at 1Broker. I have read the first part and it was so basic info that it was practically worthless because everyone can see it himself when registering on 1Broker. Though there were reflinks everywhere. It looks like he edited the post later and took out a lot reflinks but still there are a lot in there. Normally these links are followed by a number, i don't know why it's missing. I think there was one when he posted it but i'm not sure. At least that /m/r.php is the url to the refferalscript. Don't know how it works without a number.

Since the tutorial was nothing more a user could create who just registered on there i waited for the second part. He had claimed he will post it later that day. Nothing happened. I asked in the thread and nothing happened. I sent him a pm but he did not react. Nothing after a month.

The tutorial is here, by the way: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102823.new;topicseen#new

Looks like grue edited them out. Last edit 16.08.2015 by grue, took a few weeks though.

moderator note: referral link removed
https://1broker.com/m/r.php

Its difficult to know whether a post is helpfull or not. E.g. I could not judge the post because I dont use the service in question.

Then i found this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1146165.new#new where Indamuck claimed he was able to identify Moderator Cyrus being an Ass Clown. While reading that thread i came to the impression that the tutorial of 1Broker was deleted and i agreed with Cyrus decision since it was really nothing more than refspam. Only then i realized that it was another "tutorial" he was speaking about because the 1broker tutorial still existed. So he did that more than once. At least 2 Tutorials filled with reflinks, one thread deleted because of that and a second part not coming and ignoring everyone asking for it. Looks like the purpose was met by placing the reflinks.

I made a post about that in that thread, claiming that Indamuck did that more than one time and that the other thread still exists. What happened? My post was deleted. Cheesy

Funny isn't it? Me claiming that he spammed more reflinks were deleted by a moderator. Which brought up the question if Indamuck somehow is related to staff. I made a post about it, second post in thread is the deleted message, here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1156938.0

No staff reacted. I pm'ed this moderator bear... don't remember the name now but did not get an answer. Later i contacted cyrus about my deleted posts but he did not delete the "tutorial".

Now when i see the last post in that thread, it's mine, there is a line and the text copied again. I'm pretty sure that i did not draw that line and cyrus claimed that grue had edited that post the last time. So in light of that an explaination might be that i posted 2 posts one after another. Grue might have wanted to put them together, drew a line but accidentally copied the content of the first post and not the one from the second post under the line. Then deleted the second post. Might be an explaination...

Don't know what to say about the tutorial part.

Not sure how moderators actions towards you is relevant to their (possible) lack of action towards others.

Its a single example of a thread that at least appears helpfull / a lot of work that was edited rather than removed. I still dont see where is this is a big problem.
