    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."

That's my goal.

However, I am going to get a bit involved if spammy users are getting in the way of content discovery. I don't want to get into the business of playing whack-a-mole with spammers. But, if a user is ignored by a large number of people, they might not have an equal presence in the external posts feed. For those of us that have been around, we've been able to ignore these users as they have come, however, for new Hubskiers, their presence could be a nuisance and really impede discovery of good content.

For that reason, at some point I'll probably leverage the ignoring of the current user base, and make a large 'ignored by' count cause posts to more quickly fall through the external post feed.
