The 'Mine' policy of Hubski makes sense and is a good fit. Hubski employs mechanics that, by their nature, mitigate and solve a lot of the issues that 'Not Mine' policies attempt to address. I agree that those policies often create a host of other issues in the process.

I prefer a system that supports transparency while empowering users. Partly because of the mechanics, and partly because of the tools available to users, I've never had a problem nixing or avoiding spam or chronic low quality links/comments/users/ etc. Of course the question remains, does this hold true if it scales? I've given my views in that a few times in the past so won't again here.

That is the question. Personally, I'd argue that Twitter and Google+ are informative, but there are significant differences to be sure. I haven't been much involved in Google+ communities, I wonder if 'Not Mine' pressure is higher there than it is outside on Google+.
Hubski is like a personalized sherpa of content. You decide what you want to see and enjoy the benefits of any type of content and discussion without the constant trolling on other sites.
