[spam-stopper] social bookmark spam filtering with akismet

[John Manoogian III (jm3)]

i know that some social bookmarking sites use akismet to filter out spam
links - as the developer/maintainer of such a site myself, i'm wondering if
akismet developers recommend this approach? here is how i would populate the
arguments of the API call:

comment_author
  - this would be a username, not a human name

comment_author_url
  - this would be blank, since we don't require a homepage url for signup

referrer
  -- this would either be blank, or identical to the comment_content

comment_content
  - this would be the submitted bookmark URL. i could append some heuristics
(number of bookmarks, age of account, etc), but i'm not sure that would help
akismet because it would have no semantics associated with the values.


permalink
   - i would use the user's homepage on Feed Me Links here.

comment_type
  - this would be "bookmark"


would using Akismet in this way be appropriate / useful?


thanks in advance,
