When you first look a huge spam queue there are often no patterns. If everything pours into one place then even browsing the queue is soul destroying never mind working on it.

What I was suggesting is a new account for webmasters/archivists/academics/collectors etc. They could log into their submitters account much the same way as editors can and they can suggest sites relating to their passion(s)

Theses accounts would feed a queue which editors could browse and select from.

A submitter with a real interest in a subject or subjects would quickly become easily identifiable by the quality of the sites they suggest. Anyone using their account to spam would be quickly identified too, and anyone using a different account for each submission would be no better off than the current system.

You could also use the account just to say thank you to the submitters - A "hey thats a great list of sites" type thank you would often go a long way to getting another list from people with a real passion for a subject :)
