I agree with kleinbl00 on this one, use the tools provided. The ability to correct this exists. Also, if something is tagged spam, anyone with the ability to add a community tag can tag it otherwise. Tag it "gaming" or "rpgg"... whatever. If you disagree, use the tools to change the circumstance. If you can't do that, use the tools to change your feed by not filtering spam and by following rpg, or better yet the domain itself. If someone is clearly tagging content that is, without question, not spam then please bring this to my attention directly. I'm not sure that this is not the case here though. That said, if the NYTIMES had a Hubski account, would their posts be marked spam? Probably not. So, it's important for YOU to get a badge to give so you can have the ability to community tag posts and remedy this.
Actually If the NYTimes had an account it should be marked as spam, because that's what it is. Just like if Donald trump or Hillary had one it should also be spam. Self promotion by non community memebers is in its nature spam, its just hard to combat once you get really big.
No it's not here. Hillary can post all she wants. People could follow or filter her. Even Donald. In time, the global feed may be a mess, and little more useful than Twitter's global feed. At that time, it would be on us to make sure you can discover quality content without sorting through it.
I agree with you in the sense that if any of those people or their staff were posting interesting unique stuff to hubski. What I wouldn't want to see is someone posting every press release and every Twitter update. I think that stuff would self filter pretty well but it would still clog up global just as badly as spam does today. Same thing with a nytimes writer for example. I would love to have him or her post their own articles as long as they are willing to talk about them here. I would not want to see the nytimes market team post anything and everything.
