The detrimental costs remain, e.g. server loads, turning off new (interesting) members, (and possibly the broken windows effect) etc., even if you choose to go the info bubble route. I think NotPhil's position is reasonable.

I never said otherwise, it's very reasonable. It will be interesting to see how it scales but still, I think the community will be the filter. We can avoid spam posts but comments will be more difficult. We can always flag the spammers though. That said, there is a gray area between a spammer and someone that is genuinely proud of their microbrewery and wants feedback from our community ... Distinguishing between the two will be a challenge.

Really? I don't think it's difficult to discern what kind of agenda a particular post has. Especially once a user has developed a pattern of submittals, it becomes clear pretty easily. I think the majority of people on here know when they're being sold something.

Perhaps you're right. By the way, did you know that you can now download my last album for free from my website? It's easy: http://thenewgreenmusic.com/
