We *can* still validate them against entries in known overlays. And even if we *cant* validate everything, we can de-weight and hide from *default* reports items that can't be found in known overlays. This would move the difficulty goal from "submit a spam record" to: - write an overlay - get it published somewhere - get it included in the database of known overlays - then publish a spam record relating to it Which sounds like a slow and painful process if the risk of being blacklisted burns down that whole stack.
