I like to see others people work. Sometimes RMSes are linking to things that are just weekend small projects, but still it is nice to publish them and ask for opinions of other members.
I think that spam posts will disappear in few minutes from the frontpage, because nobody votes them up. In this case a kind of collaborative filtering by HN community will do its work.
I believe that by not allowing new users to submit links is a radical approach. There are many kinds of users, for example I crated this account recently (because I lost my old password and did not find a way to recover it). Usually I visit this page 2-3 times a week just for reading.
By forbidding new users to post the community will be divided in two classes "the privileged one" (those who have time to read and write comments) and "the rest" (no write access, because probably they do not have enough time for writing comments (my case)).
I think that "classical" approaches will minimize the spam. For example CAPTCHAS will stop spam-bots. And throwaway accounts may be limited by verifying email addresses of members.
