I'm really curious as to how hubski is choosing to deal with automated posting.

It would be a really fun machine learning project to determine if uploads were done by an actual human or a bot. The hard part would be to getting the bot's programmer to think that everything is kosher while you silently associate a filter to their stuff (I think thats what #spam is doing?) to allow users the choice of whether or not to see it.

I'd personally have a great time at attempting to write a bot to test your simulated Hubski-Turing test.
