We were just having this conversation.

Tng said it best.

    That said, I think if someone is spamming Hubski, we can control whether we see it or not.

Hubski can't keep people from doing that, but users can choose to see it in their feed and share it. Perhaps the main thing right now is fine tune the external-posts button.

Yeah, and if someone is spamming, but being ignored by most users, then the traffic to their site won't really increase. Therefore, they'll stop spamming pretty quickly, I would think.
