This thread is very damning..
How much scam is enough scam to do something about in in a widespread and consistent manner?

There is definite logic in that approach. After they were given permission to return to the forum they probably would have got banned within days anyway but I think I read there was wide consensus for yahoo62278 to handle things just for the sake of cleaning up the forum from spammers but with hindsight maybe it was not a good idea for the community to ask him to contain the Yobit campaign.
