SPAM or NOT

We've just completed our public SPAM image rating system.

http://spamornot.org/

If you have a few spare minutes please help rate the images shown on the site as "spam" or "not spam".

Once we have enough ratings for the images on the site our aim is to create signature files based on the results from this site, such as a signature file including only images that get a >90% SPAM rating and another with >80% etc which will allow sites to configure how trusting they are of the MSRBL and public rating service.
