But it was about the spam checker and he told you to delete the spam flagged posts to fix it. Agree shouldn't be done at the client level, but incentive exists to filter spam at the client level so people will prefer your client.

No that is retarded. You are directly controlling the user experience. Also, I have no idea what posts he marked or felt was spam from months ago.
Amethyst controls the user experience in more ways than that. They also have groups, like subreddits, which appear to be chosen by the client since most of them are not available on my relay list. A few other developer choices also affect the content you see.
It's a fine line with not ideal or simple solutions. We need more clients trying new things.
