No, you're wrong here; I wouldn't care, for I can employ filtering or simply skip past the spam. Merely making certain posts harder to find and read is nowhere near the same as preventing the posts from even being sent in the first place. Do not censor the source, but instead let each recipient decide which messages he wishes to see on his end.
