Interesting initiative... but I believe we have a much worse problem to solve: the spammers who are also scammers.
These guys are not only spamming, but also phishing for passwords... and stealing new users' accounts:

Next to these criminals, those "follow me" spammers you are wasting your time with... are mostly harmless.
There really is too much of this stuff on the blockchain so I'm hoping to make a real impact.
Yes, there is... and I hate to see new users losing their accounts to these scammers. Then they need to start all over again... and we all know how difficult this site is for beginners.
