Public bug reported:

This is similar to bug #696037, but addresses a different problem.

On the locoteams page for Ubuntu-us-mi, we track the #ubuntumi tag.
Unfortunately, spammers have glommed on to this as a potential way to
get some link juice for their wares.

Would it be possible to disallow any post that has multiple hash-tags
(or even multiple ubuntu* tags) from showing  up in the microblogging
window? We don't have direct control over the hash tags like we do over
the identi.ca groups, so policing this is extremely difficult.

Thanks!
