It shifts the incentive for people with swarms of small accounts to delegate to either one voting account or a paid delegation service rather than have each account vote with a bot. That may not affect content spam but it does reduce vote spam (in the case of delegating to a paid service, it may even reduce content spam, with many variables). Although for people with small accounts receiving delegation, they won't be able to do that (since redelegation isn't possible), so the problem persists. At least in that case a possible solution is getting the delegation removed.

Hello @smooth I recently became aware of huge issues with fake accounts going back to day 1. I see now that many good people are aware of this and trying to implement corrective measures. @anonymint pointed me in your direction. Is there some off chain area where info is posted? Like who are the good guys VS the bad? I would like to at least use my witness votes correctly. Bad actors from day 1 still have immense control and power here.
Nuff said here and now, Thanks for your time.
I don't know of a specific resource to suggest. Be engaged both on the site and on steem.chat, learn, and reach your own conclusions about "good guys VS bad". This is not an easy problem with a cookie cutter solution.
This could be taken to @anyx, @patrice, and company at http://steemcleaners.org for reporting, but they have to chose their battles by severity and applicability to their mission to fight spam and bot rings. But it's a resource to at least consider. There is also #abuse I think it's called, on http://steem.chat but that's a pretty noisy channel.
