If the OP had spent time contributing to topics and then had made this request, it's different.
This is spam. It's scummy. And that's why the many arseholes on this forum, actually have a point this time.

It's not some Nigerian crap where somebody is trying to get you to part ways with your money, it's some local runner trying to get sponsored for some marathons. I think it's a bit over the top for a minor newbie offense. Do people get up in arms when they get those unsolicited Ride to Conquer Cancer donation requests?
If people feel strongly about it though, why not see if the mods can restrict thread making until a certain number of posts, or better yet, thanked posts.
