I never knew there was so much spam. I'm a noob here but I'm more of a reader / lurker than a spammer.

  > I'm a noob here but I'm more of a reader / lurker than a spammer. The fact that you write this more or less already proves your point. Spammers would not engage in conversation (at least, not normally).

    It would seem then, that the solution would be to ban new postings by users who don't have at least 10 karma.

      That would also drop a lot of really nice stuff. Plenty of people start their lives on HN as the posters of an article.
