 : If we choose to delete some kinds of user pages immediately, I think it would be polite to mention that fact somewhere on this WikiIndex, and perhaps even give the reasons why we do things our way. Perhaps a sufficiently persuasive page will help other people from other wiki realize that they are Doing It Wrong and start doing things The Right Way.

+Several companies hid spam in what looked superficially like a userpage.  Therefore I treated these pages as spam and blocked the spammers.  Others seemed to be using their uerpages for commercial promotion of their own work so I also treated these as spam.  For some reason Wikiindex is v to their products.  There is certainly a risk that inocent work can be mistaken for spam.
