How do we combat spam?

I agree.

Oh this is going to be fun ;)

Standard report functionality for statuses/posts, etc. followed up by podmin being able to "lock" or "retract/delete" a user that's been over-reported.

Report feature would be good, and should also block the reporting user from seeing any posts from the reported account. That way, if there happens to be a lazy podmin out there, users still have a way to circumvent the spam.

... possibly something similar to youtube: "this post is hidden because it has been reported as spam repeatedly" with a configurable setting for the threshold amount of reports

@florianstaudacher I think that's a really great idea! =)

Seen this comment on many posts - looks like a spam bot. Anyone know who runs despora.de?

We really need a report function AND block on person profile (now only possible if person actually posts) :P diaspy and cliaspora already make spamming possible with a little scripting.
