No.
We should not either edit or reply to Spam. Even it is also mentioned many times by Chris.

You are lucky you missed the great spam storm of December 2012. It was pretty bad.
There might be other threads like that, but I cannot remember off hand. Check the days right around the time of that post.

Just to add to that: the spam content doesn't last too long, generally, once it's reported here.
Once one of the Admins or us Protectors sees it, the "delete" button gets engaged damn quickly.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

In past(2 years ago), I have removed long content(2-3 page) of few spam questions because those pages took long time to load. These spammers reminds me of that.

The second link is showing me some thing like : This is an auto-saved draft copy of the new unpublished article created by the submission wizard.
Why this is so? Many times i come across such message,but i can not understand if its auto-saved draft copy than why in a moderation queue?

Indeed, the silliness you have time for is much more entertaining.
