Our practice for this has been to just revert, leave a talk message, and if necessary, blacklist the spammer's url. We've actually never indefinitely blocked anyone except for doppelgangers and spambot created accounts.

I should also add that the user was not indeed banned but rather indefinitely blocked.

Run of the mill spammer, replaced normal useful texts with spam to his own website and ignoring warnings, not sure what the big deal or problem is. How would you suggest it be dealt otherwise?

I don't want to tread on toes, but this seems totally out of line with current policy..
