Then you're doing it wrong.


You might've noticed that I'm sharing experience of someone else, not me.

Also, this is exactly the kind of problem denial that made it difficult to
adopt many technologies in the past.  You may go to great lengths in
adjusting your filtering algorithms but when e.g. (I'm making up figures
now, obviously) the SNR of UGC in IPv4 is like 10x times it is in IPv6,
your management would start asking questions about whether it's really the
best time to invest in this rather than in another potential revenue stream.
