We have spambot again there Testwiki. (I blocked the account, no worries).

This newly blocked spambot has a talkpage with a "Welcome" message. What do we do with cases where the spambot has a talkpage and there is only a welcome? So the question is mainly because such talkpages should be removed, as well as locked globally? And do we have any policy or official guidance on Testwiki to send a Welcome message to new users. I have noticed recently a user of the sending welcome messages to new users.. And there’s nothing in it, but I might not find it worthwhile precisely because some of the new users are spambots. However, welcome is a beautiful gesture. Wouldn't it be worthwhile to introduce an automatic bot (extension) that automatically sends a Welcome message to new users? But the main topic is what we do with this spambot talkpage on Testwiki. Thanks.
