    If I ignore thenewgreen, should hubski reverse all his votes on pages that I see?

That is an interesting idea. Ignoring might be part of an approach to help sort comments.

As for spammers showing up in the external posts and the lurking page, we do have a count of how many people are ignoring a specific account. If we take that, and likely match it with some other data (such as followers comments on their posts, etc.), we could have some useful information to work with if it became an issue. I don't like to ban if at all possible. But if lots of people ignore a user's content, their posts might pass through external feeds at a higher rate.
