"Spam-proof" is, since the beginning of (unix)time, an ever-receding ideal, not a point that you could actually reach, or even reach and hold. I believe that in the continuum between "lots of spam, some data" and "no spam, but also no data" a point needs to be chosen (and re-chosen) which is "good enough." Shutting the whole thing down is IMNSHO not this point, and certainly an overreaction.
