When evaluating spam solutions, the first thing I ask is, "Does this empower users?" If the answer is no, it's probably the wrong solution.
Spammers are users too. You can't spell "abuser" without "user." You are inherently trying to diminish the power of the abuser users. No spam mitigation solution can ever answer, "yes," to that question without the qualification that at least some users, the abusers, will be disempowered. The equation will always come to balancing how hard you hit the spammers versus minimizing the collateral damage. Or it's another classic example of security versus usability. -- Crist J.
