The potential for spamming has been brought up when discussing a
feature for sending links to non-users, which has me idly wondering if
there has already been problems with people creating accounts to
exploit for: tags for users that already exist. It seems to me that it
could be used for spam or phishing expeditions though I guess it would
be less likely to catch people if they noticed it was a stranger
sending a link (though sending links from someone who created a
mispelled username might get overlooked).
