SPAM - Needs an intervention?

Text:

This user (https://www.ifixit.com/User/2583467/David+Humphrey) has been posting links to his parts website. His answers are good but I feel his constant posting of links to his own (competing) website probably steps over the line. I’ve linked in other websites when iFixit doesn’t offer a replacement part or is out of stock but I always try to link iFixit when possible. This is their forum after all. In this particular case, it’s blatantly spamming but the answers are generally of high quality and useful for the community so I’m reluctant to flag them as such for now.

Can the mods take a look at some of the answers and decide if they want to reach out to the user or simply modify/delete them?
