Hi, as our spam protection by trigger on people that mark a entry with

Not sure what you're saying here, but if you think writing "spam" as a
comment has some effect then you are very mistaken.
we get currently a lot of spam, that
seems to be send out via our twitter account anyway:
https://twitter.com/#!/osmblogs
That twitter account is completely unofficial as far as I know. I have
no idea who even runs it. The openstreetmap account is the official one.
I set up @osmblogs (long before @openstreetmap) as a simple
transcription of the RSS feed. It's not an account I or anyone else is
actively tweeting from, merely acting as a bridge between RSS and Twitter.
I guess you see the spam on it because it is actively transferring the
feed fairly quickly. Similarly, you'll see most of the spam if you read
the RSS feed directly. But if you read it on the web site, the spam will
have been removed through Tom's diligence, except for the odd one he
hasn't got to yet.
BTW, the response to 'why don't you do this' is so often 'why don't you
do it yourself'. We're supposedly a 'do-ocracy', so since when was
anything "official". That's a slap in the face for doing, isn't it?
