Removing SPAM postings

Hello,
I removed (I think!) a SPAM post from user "mutu26" from the following thread:
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/setting-message-format-outlook-2007-using-windows-registry

I think I removed it at least; though I still see it, it now has a dotted red outline around it.  To do it, I chose Edit, then Administrative and set it to "Not Published".  Is this the correct way to do this?  I figured I would do this instead of deleting it outright.

Hi Kyle,
I checked the thread and cannot see the spam content, so it looks like you did the right things to make it invisible.

Why not just delete it?

Why not just delete it?
It still says "Removed as advertising SPAM."

Mmmmm SPAM

Just a quick update from your local admin - at the moment we don't have the option of deleting a comment in the middle of a comment thread. All subsequent comments would also be deleted. It's something we need to work on. We've also noted a bug in this process and reported it. Thanks for keeping an eye on things and send a quick PM to a community manager if you have a question.
