To site admin: What is perceived as spam?

If someone supplies a link to the same site as an answer to multiple, consecutive, unrelated questions why is this not considered spam?

This may not technically belong in software but it is the category a certain person continually inserts irrelevant links.

Update:

I did - twice but got no result.

He's still there!

Update 2:

I did - twice.

He's still there.

At least one other person needs to rate the person as abusing the site.

Possibly no-one else cares.

    There's a GANG of SPAMMERS that have been doing this for at least 6 months. For 3 months, I reported the abuse every time I saw one.

    Then, I realized that the Yahoo! Answers Team either doesn't care, OR they don't know how to stop these hoodlums.

    Now I don't even bother to report SPAMMERS any more. This used to be a great website, now I'm not so sure...
