readers actively flagging spam posts helps I agree with this. Maybe some karma encouragement for being on new page might help (Maybe badges like stackoverflow ;)). And also, If there's a flag link on new page itself (not discussion page for each submission) would make things easy in my opinion. Too much submission hurt the quality as I mentioned in an early ASK HN (which was deleted). So I think it's ok to take some steps, at least for a short period of time.
