If I see one link to a site from a new member, I might not remove it. But if that same link pops up in all their posts and they are so obviously being spammy, then I'm likely to edit the post. I don't like deleting posts as that means lost content for a forum. A nice edit to remove does the same job.

That's what the signature line is for to advertise your site. If a forum member consistently advertises in the forum post, they should be warned not to do so anymore.

Posting a link once is okay but posting links frequently is tantamount to spamming already especially if a particular link is being posted again and again. To consider that the member is a newbie then a reprimand is in order. And for the repeat of the offense, I guess banning is the best remedy. But take note that spamming may have a valid reason so even if it is a violation, it can be pardoned. One example is testing the effectiveness of the forum in getting views to a blog.
