I let people backlink all the time.
The reason I left it there was because I thought it was worth calling out, not deleting.
However, what I am asking for, is do you think the decision, based upon what I said, to call this 'spam' or whatnot is valid? I'm keen to hear from people to see what they think of this.
Others have stated that I can't possibly say such a thing because the person involved has been helpful to them in the past, which I think is irrelevant.
