Spam bots weaponized this long ago I'm afraid.
Is this not going to make stopping spam somewhat of a nightmare?
Well, look forward to spammers using this to bypass the spam filters...
That sounds like it only works because spammers aren't really trying yet.
Could it be abused by spammers?
There was mention on HN of people using this feature to add spam.
Won't this be exploited by spammers?
What would stop a spammer from using those tactics too?
