Last Tuesday I was wrote a similar post about submitting stories to Sphinn and social news sites...
http://www.marketposition.com/blog/archives/2008/04/spamming_sphinn.html
The problem will probably never go away completely. But the more people use services/sites like this, the community and/or the admins will probably get more protective and reactionary to spam, and junk that doesn't belong. Or the community will fail.
I don't quite agree with all of the points in Danny's post the other day about Twitter spam or not: http://daggle.com/080507-212128.html
I periodically see posts to Sphinn about multi level marketing tactics that are really, really spammy but the submission guidelines are not that closed off to exclude MLM issues, tactics, etc. And while I'm not a fan of MLM, "internet marketing news & discussion forums" does seem like it would include MLM. (/shiver) Again, I think that it is the community and admins that really set the stage. As Eric Lander explores over here, http://sphinn.com/story/45180, it is difficult to know just how active the community of Sphinn really is as many only read/troll through the posts...
Very interesting article by David. Allready bookmarked!
