How do you know whether this Japanese text is spam or not?

@FK270673: just look where the numerous links in the article point to

@FK270673... have a look to the links in the article... or you can also translate the entry with the perhaps newest service from google: translate.google.com... then you can see, that this entry have nothing to do with OSM and its just nonsense with some spam-typical links.
have a look at this translation: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.openstreetmap.org%2Fuser%2Faofoe%2Fdiary%2F10441&sl=ja&tl=de
and now? what do you think? it isn't spam?

Content or user no longer exist. Apparently, spam was removed.
Cummentu di efred lu 26 April 2010 ê 11:12
yepp, some minutes after the translation, the user was deleted... but this spam was about 24 hours online. that's really to long.

The website code is at http://git.openstreetmap.org/ Feel free to implement something immediately! If it is a practical and sane solution, it might even get taken.
Until then, the levels of spam are just about still manually manageable. Annoying yes, but not catastrophic. A system to deal with it more efficiently will eventually come though.

We are working out what to do about spam at the upcoming hack weekend: osm.wiki/Hack_weekend_May_2010
efred, I'm sure that as English isn't your mother tongue you didn't mean to come across this way, but I'm afraid your initial message is astonishingly rude and unlikely to convince many people that they should help you.
