You're assuming that spammers will perfectly update all existing spam.
There might be crud floating around out there for a while to come.

I'm not assuming anything John. Spam with no endgame is pointless spam.
All spam has a point and purpose - or it would not exist. Most spammers
staging or springboarding from such places turn their links around
mighty fast - they know they wont be up for long, so whilst I sure there
may be the odd 'floater' around, the enemy is formidable and ahead of
the game.
Are we talking that the spam should not exist or about the spam still
exists?
The fact is, that if we get old spam, we should detect it, regardless if
spammers make money on it or not.
I was about to write something to that effect. Not all spam is created
to make money. There is the annoyance factor as well. After the
geocities rules are not enforced anymore (and I'm sure Spammers are
monitoring this list and the the SA rules), the spammers could start up
the geocities spam again just to annoy the users and admins, even though
they will be broken links. SA is going to have to re-instate the rules
at some point.
