Netscape hit with porn spam

Damn - it looks like the porn spammers are hitting Netscape, with a whole set of categories based on adult and related keywords, promoting the sex videos on the site ebloggy.com:

Sex
Sexy
Lesbians
Love
gay
movies
humor
stories

Not sure what Netscape’s policy is on adult content, but I strongly suspect it’s not necessarily going to be welcome.

What’s a shame is that I can’t find any ordinary way of flagging individual sites that appear to be flooding - spamming - Netscape in this manner.

UPDATE: Looks like someone from Singapore is getting in on the flooding action, with a string of new “hot tags” apparently in Indonesian:

bisnis Indonesia
bisnis internet
bisnis online
peluang bisnis
peluang usaha

In my opinion, definitely an argument for certain sites being blocked and their content/promoters being removed, when flooding media sites like this.

Is Web 3.0 really going to have to be return of some editorial controls?

UPDATE 2: The worst of the spam has been cleared. :)
