RE: Steem Improvement Proposal, Minimum threshold for being notified of transactions / memo messaging.
Seems like a good idea to me... since we can't "legislate" spammers out of existence, the next best approach is to adjust the code to where any and all forms of spammish activity is disincentivized. That way the platform remains "censorship free"... but you basically have to be a complete idiot to engage in the behaviors that would otherwise have to be "regulated."
I think you are right there. You can't do this manually and you can't count on ethical behavour codes etc. You have to make it structurally unattractive to spam. The upvoting system as it works currently is too easy to automate and abuse. And that might be designed so on purpose to be more efficient but... makes it possible to abuse
