Only logged in users will be allowed to post. But that wouldn't stop spammers from logging in and posting spam.
An example is Apple's new social network, Ping. Only logged in users are allowed to post comments there. But it's still flooded with spam immediately after its launch: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/apples_ping_overrun_with_spam.php "The fraudsters have created iTunes profiles and are posting links to a number of online scams, including ones that promises "free iPhones" or "free iPads" in exchange for filling out online surveys. For the most part, these suspicious links are being posted in the comments sections "Apple doesn't require a credit card or any other positive identification in order to establish an account on Ping "Given those lax sign-up requirements, however, it's somewhat surprising that Apple didn't build in a good spam filtration system into its social network, too. The types of links being posted now are what any halfway decent blog commenting system like Disqus or Echo would pick up automatically, or at least flag for review." So 'm looking for some sort of automatic spam filtering or flagging in addition to the logged-in requrement.
