If the distributed social networks ever get enough users to attract spammers, they'll have an even worse spam problem than the centralized ones. They don't collect enough info network-wide to detect spammers.

I feel like that particular issue could be resolved with even the most rudimentary reputation system. It’s how humans have solved the problem amongst ourselves. But I agree it will be a problem.

Email has struggled with that problem for decades. Also, reputation systems are easily scammed. See eBay, Yelp, Amazon, etc.
