Bug Description

There appears to be a slew of Twitter Spammers using the hash tags of certain groups. Unfortunately these get picked up by the microblogging widget on the loco directory and overtake any useful conversations that might be there. Would it be possible to reduce the amount of SPAM; either by not including items that reference a number of loco hash tags, or some other means?

Thanks!

A better(?) solution might be to limit what is shown on the LoCo Directory Team page to only what is posted to an Identi.ca group. Groups are easier to control than hashtags.
