The spam reporting feature is hand managed and sites that are reported as spam that are not really spam will not be able to be reported as spam once checked.

So if a page is reported as spam but is not spam, I simply set the page so it can never be reported as spam again. So a competetor would be shooting itself in the foot.

I realize that it will be a big job but for the most part, it will be the best way to sort through the spam.

I did notice that everyone that searched for their main keyword, instantly voted their own site to the top of the results and I have checked the results and most people 99% deserve to be #1 simply because webmasters know best how the results should be ranked.

So far it has worked out exactly the way I designed it and the results that have been adjusted by webmasters are very good.

I also wanted to set it up so new pages will rank well when submitted but ultimately the best pages will always rank best because every clickthrough will be a vote also.

It would be very time consuming for a competetor to derank other pages enough for their site to rank in the top 5 for a single keyword which they would have to do it to many different keywords for that to be effective.

Either way, even though they are a competetor their page may be more relevant than their competition. I say let the people judge.
