Some days, the first page of the upcoming list on Sphinn is 50% spam.

Three clicks on the "Report as Spam" button, and it is gone...

I only just clicked on that for 8 items, just before writing this.

Sphinn isn't nearly as bad as some.  The venerable Nature publishing group had a social bookmarking site called www.dissectmedicine.com for medical stories.  It was absolutely packed with spam.  They had no way to vote stories down or to report spam.  Most of the stories were people promoting diets or selling snake oil.  A couple months ago Nature gave up on it; it had gotten so out of control.
