Their anti-spam team was effective from the start and besides the scourge of game invites, the experience is relatively positive all around.

One thing: maybe this is just me, but the account verification email got caught in my spam filter.

There are consequences if you spam the site with huge numbers of crappy links; they're just not so visible.

The cost of posting a blog post is a flood of spam comments and trackbacks.

Any future solution to corporate controlled media needs to have a great answer to spam.

You cannot wipe out spam without losing the decentralization element built into current protocols.

And it doesn't require immediate cooperation if a signed message with a good reputation is used as one of several spam signals.

Personally I have noticed that they are doing pretty good job at keeping the spam out of my search results.

If I get your key and start signing spam with it, sending it all over the place, you'll soon be overflowed by "yo!"s, you'll have to regenerate keys, rebuild trust (a process you've forced to be slow), and your mail won't go through for days or weeks.

Spam has killed off most of the decentralized web.
