I think tarekezombie has been shouted out plenty a-time to. Were he not a bot, I think he might've already come forward. The thing is, though, he's still there posting. The admin hasn't banned him and he can continue to post the same things he's posting right now. The decision to see it (through the external posts button and the ignore button) or share it lies, I think, entirely to the users. So, when thenewgreen asks:
The great thing, I think, is we can decide that for our personal feeds individually, without the need of a disclaimer like "spamming will not be allowed" in the about page. The site provides the option for us to say "spam is what we make of it." * * * riemannman's question about hate speech is, I think, a harder one. Admin had to deal with inappropriate content before. I think it's a more legal territory than anything else. Doesn't the US -- btw, I'm not a US citizen -- has laws against discrimination? If someone is posting hate speech, isn't the best solution to flag them?at what point to we say "this person is a spammer"?
