YouTube has tons of trolls and comment spam. Our biggest challenge was explaining to decision-makers why didn't use an existing platform like YouTube or Flickr or Facebook.

At least the content-focused social networks, like del.icio.us, or flickr, or my personal favorite, our own Social Source Commons , there is some there there.
