We need to do a better job at explaining that... For instance, on my own profile, which gets hit by a number of new users, the tags on my page are often messages to me 'you hot' 'you bitch' or 'hi, how are you'. Clearly we need to make it easier to understand. As far as the schmoes, we knew it might not catch on, but if you want to tag someone spammer or whatever, that is good too. We have other spam warns/reports and measures and we catch all kinda spam. But, there's no way we can catch it all. I know it feels great to blog about how many horrifying tags we missed, and we'll certainly see it and as soon as I get back from BlogHer I'll delete them. However, we'd love for you to let the community owner know so they can delete them immediately. Policing a site with more than 200K people isn't practical. We do our best, but when our users want fast results, they usually delete spam and/or removed connections on their own.
