Detecting spam in p2p

Sunday, May 24, 2009 7:18:22 PM

I have been running an ADC-hub more or less on, or off for the past two years - mostly in the interest of developing one.
One of the rising problems on the network is people joining the hub for a couple of seconds, only to broadcast a chat message containing spam. Typically, visit this URL to see naked chicks.

Given that this is unwanted spam, how can this best be dealt with?

Yes, but that sort of assumes that all spam sites can be determined to be spam based on the host name. I assume that has some kind of effect, but maybe there are better solutions?
