I don't quite understand what the value of splitting spam into human-submitted and bot-submitted is. Are they not both undesired?
Furthermore, how long until they are not distinguishable? The bots will eventually be able to parse your post and say things like "I agree with your point on spam classification methods. You might like to check out this link on the topic.", which is in fact a link to something undesirable.
Is the human submitted type not still "bulk"? Someone is sitting around robotically surfing from blog-to-blog writing up these comments in bulk, just like the spam bots do, only the human ones can pass a Turing Test.
What is the value in this distinction?
