It's bad form to make your first post on a forum a bunch of links with no explanation.

I'll bet that this isn't just the first post, but the last. Drive-by Buddhist proselytizing.
There really is everything on the Internet tubes!

Do I even need to click on the links or just ban this person as a spammer without looking?

Isn't standard practice to make the links inactive and explain to the poster (who will most likely never come back) that there is a rule against posting links as a first post? Yeah, it seems obvious that this person was a drive by who just wanted to promote something, but isn't it better to err on the side of caution just in case they want to participate?

I know, you're right. Gotta err on the side of caution. Dagnabit!
