Checking link quality : help needed

[micvitale]

In my journey of learning which links are good or bad for my website I found the series pointed out in the attached image and pasted below:

where I posted a forum comment just like this one on the wordpress forum asking for advice.

Apparently this links is mildly spammy (spam score of 1).

What should I do with such links? Remove them?

A Spam Score of 1 is nothing to worry about.

I think a general rule of thumb is to remove any with a score above 4/5 (may be wrong but I think I read it on MOZ somewhere).

Any link that is that easy to obtain is always going to come across slightly spammy. I wouldn't have thought the link will benefit your site hugely given the type of link it is (a comment on a blog/forum) and I wouldn't suggest that as a technique if you're trying to increase your link profile :).

But at the same time it doesn't sound like it's going to do you any harm, especially if its just the one.
