It's *long* been understood within the security community that the best way to deal with a DoS attack is to disable the source of the attack. A case can be made that if the free venue is clogged with inane chatter to the point of uselessness, that is *also* manipulation, and that *removing* said source results in a *less* manipulated venue. Which is more manipulated - one noise source that renders the venue unusable, or one noise source that finds itself self-filtered? In the first, everybody feels the effects, in the second only the noise source itself feels the effect.
