No, in the very worst case it is enough with a maximum of 8 links. Usually it is enough with 3 links, because the spammers mostly post forum messages and/or QA messages. If you go to the user's profile (before he get nuked) you can copy the link to sections that are not empty (those lists are in the under the profile-image and there are max 7)
With that links it doesn't matter if he had posted 5, 10 or 100 messages. That is a dynamic query of the site to his history. The advantage is, that history remains active and clickable to find the rest of the messages, even if the user is already banned.
EXAMPLE
This user is already banned: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=10144976[^]
This is the list of his answers: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/MemberPosts.aspx?tab=answers&mid=10144976[^]
If the user had posted 100 spam messages, we could still access the list and see how many of them are still alive, and then clean up until it gets to "0 results" (as this example)
That's why we post those extra links.
I hope you can see the usefull aspect of that. It is not a question of "who has it bigger" and you "must" do this or that, you can do whatever you consider appropiate, but if you care about CP and the quality of the site enough to start reporting spam here, then please do it in that way. It is just a question of efficiency and to make it easier for the rest to clean the mess.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
