I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense. Horrible UI, too.
For what it's worth, the two other reasons for forcing privacy on the
imports are:
a) people frequently have corporate-internal sites that shouldn't be
exposed and need to be checked by hand
b) various places would get spammed by valid but boring links from the
various browser defaults.
I like the idea of seeing all private items (perhaps an automatically
added tag) and want there to be an easier way to modify items in bulk.
We do see a great deal of spam activity currently.

I think the suggestion is not to do it on every post, but on
every batch
sharing operation.
I guess it wouldn't help much, though, as we are not talking
about
robots, here, but humans.
I have two suggestions:
- use the anti-spam keyword idea, as suggested by somercamb, and
limit
the batch operation to only 20, 50 or 100 bookmarks at a time.
This way,
for someone legitimately sharing a new import, it would be a bit
annoying, but not so much. For a massive spammer, it would be
really
annoying
- keep a record of batch operation. That way, if spam is
reported on
such an operation, you could roll it back
There is one question I'm wondering: what kind of spam are we
talking
about here, for what volume?
Cheers,
Ben
