How do you define spam? One limit per identity is the amount of messages which are accepted per day. And if you trust some active indentities, which think the same as you, you will get nearly no spam at all because they already marked it as spam. FMS/WoT depends on the trust relationship between people and them telling each other about third partys. > - Being too good at solving the spam problem means we are too good at > mob censorship.

Since you cannot say what is spam and what not, this is relative. In FMS, you can choose to trust those that think the same as you and you will get their spam markings.

The alice bot spam in frost was also just annoying, but i do think that many new users where annoyed and left frost and freenet. So a default system should not only make it usable, but also relative spamfree from the view of the majority.
