As a Reddit Mod, this doesn't seem to counter one of the best defences against people spamming their own content: training the spam filter to hate a specific URL.

This system would only seem to work if the URL got through the spam filter, so isn't much use to the kind of voting rings you tend to find already operating on Reddit.

Though it's still a very valuable proof of concept.

the URL being linked need not necessarily go directly to the target site.

also I cringe at the fact that this is called a "hack".
