What happened here? https://aviation.stackexchange.com/posts/104618/revisions Seems a rather unwelcome reception for a new user.

Under that answer Do GPS coordinates of a fixed point in space ever change?, we now see the tag "This answer was marked as spam or rude or abusive and is therefore not shown - you can see the revision history for details." Did the "Community" bot just make a mistake here?

Is it similar to this situation Why did the "Community" bot decide that this answer should be deleted? , where the user's account was "destroyed"?

The link posted in the answer was spam to a wildly unrelated website, likely so the site could be crawled & get a web presence with the search engines. That is overtly malicious behavior, and yes, that absolutely warrants (and gets) a no-warning ban on the account.
