Well, if you spammed any other forum or social network, what do you think would happen? You'd probably get banned, and potentially get blacklisted. Same thing happened to Tsu. It's not surprising.
As far as the concept of the site... I strongly doubt it's going to succeed in the long run. Tsu's revenue sharing was already tried a bunch of times in the past, there were actually add ons for that sort of thing for many different forum scripts. Sometimes it was based on who made the original post/whose profile it was, sometimes it was based on some sort of percentage system where X percent of the site ads would go to a user based on how active they were.
It usually failed. People treated the site like a source of free money, and the inevitable result was a huge gold rush that ended up bringing in hordes of morons looking to get rich quick by putting in the minimum amount of effort. Fake users, thousands of spammy or low quality posts... it eventually made the world of Idiocracy look like something out of Shakespeare. Digitalpoint was a good example of one of the sites who tried and gave up this idea.
Either way, I'm not surprised they're blocked, and while I wish them the best of luck, I suspect they really won't like the results of this 'revenue sharing' gimmick.
