ASIDE: I love the idea of combining this kind of approach with a random site generator. You can then totally automate the business, from inception onwards. If incorporated as a company, it's an artificially intelligent artificial person.
A problem with this (well one of them) is that it could home in on the worst of spammy techniques, like masquerading as a legitimate message, shaking animation, illegal claims and "simple" lies/promises. A solution is to filter these out - one could hand-code specific cases, but a general solution seems as difficult as AI in the first place, and requires external knowledge (such as of infrastructure messages, human visual physiology, laws and their interpretation, the concept of lying). It's hard to gather data (e.g. each lawsuit); but maybe something along the lines of a simple "complaint" button would do (use statistics to discount accidental/abusive clicks).
something along the lines of giving the bad behavior a huge negative reward (penalty) and you end up automating that as well :).
